SUMMARY:The Love Life of Plants\, from Linnaeus to the Present Day
DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, 1 MAY – 10 AM\nScientific popularisation meeting\nWith Isabelle Charmantier\, Barbara Baldan and Elena Canadelli\nFree | Subject to booking \nIn the mid-18th century\, Swedish physician and botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)\, known as the father of modern taxonomy\, put forward the theory of the sexual reproduction of plants. This idea\, often illustrated through explicit analogies with human sexuality\, drew considerable criticism and accusations\, to the point of placing Linnaeus’s career at risk. The conference presents Linnaeus’ ideas on plant reproduction\, how they were received by his contemporaries\, and what has survived of his theories to this day. \nThe conference will be held in English and Italian with simultaneous translation. \nIt will take place at the Botanical Theatre.

SUMMARY:In the Pursuit of Nature\, Amidst Gardens and Urban Living
DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, 1 MAY – 11:30 AM\nScientific popularisation meeting\nWith Terry Hartig\, Rogier van Vugt\, Laura Gatti\, Luigi Latini. Introduction by Francesco Dal Grande\nIn collaboration with Orticola di Lombardia\nFree / Subject to booking \nThe conference weaves together botanical research\, horticultural practice and landscape culture to explore the role of public green spaces in the contemporary city. Drawing on experiences developed across a range of urban contexts—from the evolution of botanical gardens as complex ecosystems capable of positively influencing those who experience them\, to the design of green spaces shaped around quality of life—the event offers a reflection of how trees\, gardens and flowering landscapes contribute to urban biodiversity and to the creation of more liveable and distinctive city environments. \nThe conference will be held in English and Italian with simultaneous translation. \nIt will take place at the Auditorium. Entrance: Prato della Valle 57/C.

SUMMARY:A Voice from the Garden: Darwin and Other Stories
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, 2 MAY – 10 AM\nScientific popularisation meeting\nWith Chiara Ceci\, Claire Masset\, Antony O’Rourke. Moderator: Elena Canadelli\nFree | Subject to booking \nWhat stories can a historic garden tell us—such as the one at Down House\, near London\, once owned by the Darwin family? In the mid-19th century\, naturalist Charles Darwin spent much of his time\, with his wife Emma Wedgwood and their children\, in this country home surrounded by a variety of gardens. These green spaces bear witness to them and their lives\, and to their relationship with the botanical world. Taking Down House as its point of departure\, the conference traces the stories of other gardens and their “gardeners”\, including William Morris and Claude Monet. \nThe conference will be held mainly in English with simultaneous translation into Italian. \nIt will take place at the Botanical Theatre.

SUMMARY:The Unknown World of Lichens
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, 3 MAY – 10 AM\nScientific popularisation meeting\nWith Christoph Scheidegger and Garima Singh\nFree | Subject to booking \nLichens differ radically from flowering plants: their structure is formed by a fungal partner that cultivates algae or cyanobacteria within the body of the lichen; through photosynthesis\, these organisms provide it with nourishment. This close coexistence between the fungal and algal partners is known as symbiosis. Yet it is thanks to another remarkable trait that lichens are able to endure life in deserts and on the rocks of the highest Alpine peaks: they can survive extreme drought\, heat and cold in an apparently dormant—or anabiotic—state\, only to awaken and return to active life when the climatic conditions become favourable. The conference will explore the ecological advantages of this strategy and the implications it holds for symbiotic organisms in terms of species conservation. \nThe conference will be held in English with simultaneous translation into Italian. \nIt will take place at the Botanical Theatre. \nAt the end of the talk\, participants may join the speakers for a guided viewing of living lichen specimens in Prato della Valle.

SUMMARY:The Scent of Memory
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, 3 MAY – 11:30 AM\nScientific popularisation meeting\nWith Hirac Gurden\, Anne-Cécile Pouant\, Anna D’Errico. Moderator: Monica Baggio\nFree | Subject to booking \nScents and aromas carry with them memories and sensations that weave through the fabric of our minds\, linking past experiences with our present-day life. At the crossroads of science\, art and history\, the conference explores the bond between smell and memory\, revealing how our brain—even without our awareness—gathers and preserves countless amounts of information. For fragrance is far more than a fleeting recollection; it is a bridge of connection\, a subtle language through which we share something of ourselves with others. \nThe conference will be held in English and French with simultaneous translation. \nIt will take place at the Auditorium. Entrance: Prato della Valle 57/C.
