At its second event of the season, the Googreen Biodiversity Market returns to the Sambuy Gardens – in its special edition on the occasion of Portici di Carta 2023 and in conjunction with the event La Vendemmia a Torino – Grapes in Town.

From 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. the seasonal excellence will be represented by Maestri del gusto e del Paniere, food and wine presidia, small but excellent producers from our land, garden masters and sustainable economy, united in the evocative setting of the gardens in front of Porta Nuova.

On the occasion of and in collaboration with the event La Vendemmia a Torino – Grapes in Town, Giardino forbito will inaugurate, together with Annalena Benini, the first didactic flowerbed cultivated with vines, part of the SEMINATO project, the crowdfunding campaign for the sustainable evolution of Giardino Sambuy. A small vineyard, symbolic and representative of the lands of Piedmont’s literary wines.

In the morning, the appointment with the Pizzica and Southern dances and the free workshop with the masters of the Paranza del Geco returns.

For the first time at the Sambuy, Arianna Abis’ Poetry on Token plays the role of a sleeping character who waits for passers-by’s token to tell her poems, nursery rhymes and illustrated stories. The technique she uses is that of the kamishibai, an ancient Japanese method of storytelling: illustrated plates are placed in a wooden case and the spectator sees the chosen image while the narrator tells the story.

The day will close with the customary Ape-ritivo in collaboration with the Slow Food Metropolitan Pollinators Community to celebrate the commitment of the first association founded in Italy for the knowledge and protection of biodiversity and pollinators.
