The project continues Pesaro 2024 which takes shape in the section of the ‘living nature of culture’. ‘The resounding forest it is an audio, physical and digital installation on a network of 33 trees (monumental and otherwise) selected in the Pesaro area, which reconstitutes a community of living people in which citizens can reflect themselves, rethink their human condition and remeasure time. From 31 May to 6 September, eight of the 33 trees protagonists of ‘il Bosco resonante’ will become “host places” for as many live events: meetings, concerts, readings, workshops. The selection of the trees and the writing of the texts that describe their botanical characteristics and the natural and human history that the plants have witnessed during the course of their long life, was entrusted to 9 botanists and naturalists Sauro Bigelli, Virgilio Dionisi, Andrea Fazi, Massimo Guerra, Roberto Mancini, Simone Paci, Andrea Pellegrini, Fabio Salbitano, Fulvio Tosi and to the historian Richard Paul Uguccioni. 26 readers of Le Voci dei Libri APS who will give voice to the trees. The project is implemented by The Voices of the APS Books.

The monumental trees
The art. 7 of Law 10/2013 defines a “monumental tree” as “the tall tree isolated or part of natural or artificial forest formations (…), the typical secular tree (…) rare example of majesty and longevity, for age or size, or of particular naturalistic value, due to botanical rarity and peculiarity of the species, (…) which bear a precise reference to events or memories relevant from a historical, cultural, documentary or local tradition point of view; (…) including those located in urban centers and (…) in particular architectural complexes of historical and cultural importance, such as (…) villas, monasteries, churches, botanical gardens and private historic residences”. Like monuments built by men, the monumental tree (a living example of resilience and biodiversity) is, at the same time, a botanical, historical and cultural archive. These ‘green giants’ deserve to be known, respected and listened to. And not only the trees defined as ‘monumental’, but also those which are, due to botanical and “historical” peculiarities, true witnesses of time: monuments of living, natural and cultural memory. It is important to give them a Voice to be able to ‘present’ themselves and to ‘tell’ their stories.
