Alberi Parlanti in Monferrato

Alberi Parlanti in Monferrato: Nature telling its own story

Alberi Parlanti in Monferrato is a cultural festival that brings two days dedicated to nature, biodiversity, and sustainable living to the town of Camagna Monferrato, in the Province of Alessandria. Nestled among the UNESCO World Heritage hills of Monferrato, Camagna provides the perfect backdrop for an event that blends science, botany, architecture, and well-being in an open, accessible dialogue.

A festival born in Novara, growing across the region

The festival was conceived in Novara in 2022 by the creative agency Atelier51 Creative Sign, with the aim of bringing "storytellers" to diverse locations to act as spokespeople for nature. These accredited professionals from the worlds of science, botany, and architecture are invited to promote projects for the protection of natural heritage and environmentally conscious lifestyles. Following its initial editions in the Novara area, the festival has expanded to the Monferrato region, confirming its itinerant spirit.

The program for the fifth edition

The fifth edition is divided into two thematic days, with free meetings alternating between the Town Hall Council Chamber and the Garden of Spontaneous Orchids:

• Saturday — Bio-architecture and therapeutic gardens: The morning opens with the presentation of the "Little Leisure Lodge" eco-glamping project by architect Carlo Lavit Nicora (Atelier Lavit, Paris), followed by a session on therapeutic and sensory gardens with architect Monica Botta and Dr. Stefania Piloni.
• Sunday — Biodiversity and pollinators: Focus on the Oasi Tech project in Novara and initiatives for biodiversity protection, concluding with the presentation of the book "Un mondo senza api" (A World Without Bees) by beekeeper and educator Marco Valsesia, accompanied by a practical beekeeping demonstration.

Themes and atmosphere

The common thread is the green philosophy: from sustainable architecture to color psychology, and from biodiversity oases to the art of recycling, every event invites reflection on the bond between design, landscape, and well-being. The intimate setting of Camagna and its botanical garden makes for an immersive experience, perfect for families, enthusiasts, and professionals alike.

Patronage and organization

The event is organized by Atelier51 Creative Sign under the patronage of the Municipality of Camagna Monferrato and the Order of Architects of the Province of Alessandria. Admission is free, with booking recommended on the official website alberiparlanti.com.
