The Aromataria event at the Angelo Rambelli botanical garden
During the event it will be possible to speak with rose experts who will be able to answer all visitors’ curiosities about the cultivation and care of roses.
On the occasion of this event, a “special” greenhouse was set up where the plants represent the ideal setting that welcomes hundreds of colorful tropical butterflies from the Philippines, Mexico and the Amazon Forest. Visitors will be able to admire these splendid insects up close by following their development phases: starting from the chrysalises, placed in a special incubator, it will be possible to witness their metamorphosis and observe the first flight of the new butterflies.
The experience will be guided by Federica Giarruzzo, entomologist, and Diana Martignoni, technician of the botanical garden who will answer all the curiosities of adults and children.
For the entire duration of the event, in the cool setting of the Arboretum, a market exhibition of plants, crafts and typical products of Tuscia will be set up, which will offer visitors the opportunity to discover and purchase high quality local products.
In the teaching room, you can visit an exhibition of watercolors dedicated to the Rosaceae family, curated by Veronica Hadjiphani Lorenzetti, and see unusual informative videos that show fascinating aspects of the life of butterflies. It will also be possible to visit an entomological exhibition and participate in the interactive laboratory “Insects: observe them… and see what they see”, organized by professor Stefano Speranza.
For the little ones, the “FantaVolando” workshop will offer creative activities, making the event a perfect opportunity for families.
The event will continue with many other engaging activities, you will be able to witness the creation of “perfumes” through the distillation of flowers, participate in naturalistic drawing workshops, thematic show-cooking organized by Slow Food and yoga lessons held by the association Asd LiberoMovimento.
