Herbarium at the Monastery of Torba

Herbarium 2025 confirmed at the Monastery of Torba the successful blend of medicinal herbs, science, and history that characterizes the FAI event. For a spring weekend, the property in Gornate Olona hosted workshops on the cultivation and use of medicinal plants, botanical illustration sessions, demonstrations of cooking with wild herbs, and an artisan market featuring plants, natural cosmetics, and spirits. Guided tours of the Lombard complex, a UNESCO site, completed an experience that attracts botany and heritage enthusiasts from the province of Varese each year.
