Technical tour (optional activity to be indicated in the registration form)
Option 1 Visit to the floriculture companies in the West-part of Liguria
Departure from Genoa, first stop at Albenga (SV). Visit to the farm “Azienda Agricola Biologica RaveraBio” which is located in Albenga, area renowned for the production of aromatic plants throughout Italy and abroad. The farm has a long tradition in the cultivation of several aromatic plants (basil, coriander, tarragon, chives, lavender, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, rocket, sage, savory, thyme). No pesticides or herbicides are used and the farm got the certification Bioagricert. A recent innovation was achieved by the production of edible flowers. The packages of the products are environmentally friendly and are made with recycled, recyclable and biodegradable materials. During the visit Dr. Luca De Michelis, President of the Floriculture District, will introduce the participants to the Ligurian floriculture industry. Second stop at Taggia (Imperia) to visit Diemme Fiori, a company specialized in the production and import-export of dried flowers, ornamental plants, fresh green and fresh cut flowers. During the visit we will see the facilities for dried flowers and for dried essence used as home fragrance. The company has several certifications thanks to their attention to the sustainable production and the recycling. After lunch, we will move towards Ventimiglia (IM) to reach the Hanbury Botanic Gardens, one of the main botanic gardens for acclimatization in this area of the Mediterranean operated by the University of Genoa. We will visit the plant collections with about 2500 taxa. Many of the species are plants from the six climate zones of the world. Major collections include agaves, aloes, and salvia, as well as fine old specimens of Araucaria cunninghamii (planted 1872), Casimiroa edulis (1867), olive trees, Olmediella betschleriana, and Pinus canariensis (1870). At Hanbury Botanical Gardens we will have the closing ceremony which will be held online connected with the University of Genoa where the Tour number 2 will end the visit. Option 2 Visit to the historical gardens in Genoa
Visit to Villa Pallavicini in Genoa Pegli and other gardens and parks in Genoa included the Botanic Garden of the University of Genoa. It will be possible to attend on line the closing ceremony held in person at Hanbury Botanic Gardens.

| THURSDAY 6th JULY |
Post- symposium tour
The post-symposium tour is confirmed for a limited number of participants: as of July 2 there are still a few free places. The Portofino Regional Park Authority supports the organization. The program includes leaving from Genoa by boat to reach San Fruttuoso and Portofino, a truly wonderful glimpse of the Ligurian coast.
Only 5 km from Portofino and 40 km from Genoa, the San Fruttuoso abbey is a corner of paradise you can reach only by ferry or on foot. This one-time Benedictine monastery (Xth century), from the 13th century the abbey’s fate became intertwined with that of the Doria family, who renovated its design, adding the loggia and transferring here the family burial ground. The Abbey and the fishing village around it stand as a true oasis in a unique scenario, amid the earth and the woodlands of Mount Portofino and the blue sea of eastern Liguria. |
