Edition 2025 — Herbarium

The 2025 edition of Herbarium animated the Monastery of Torba, in Gornate Olona (VA), with a weekend dedicated to medicinal and herbal plants: workshops, botanical illustration, cooking with wild herbs, an artisan market, and guided tours of the UNESCO site, amidst nature, science, and history.

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.
