Until 19 June 2025 at the Sant'Orsola complex in Florence, the IMForest025 (Itinerant Mediterranean Forest) is on, a project promoted by the non-profit organisation LWCircus-Onlus. The IMForest025 crosses Europe with the aim of enhancing environmentally compromised landscapes.
The journey begins in the cloister of the Complex of Sant'Orsola, in the historical centre of Florence. This space, which has remained inaccessible for years, is hosting the first portion of the forest, called SOForest025, which can be visited by reservation.
IMForest025 and SOForest025 thus build a gesture of climate activism, offering the opportunity to experience how reforestation can improve people's lives, for example by counteracting the summer heat island phenomenon. After Florence, the project will go beyond the museum walls, enriching itself with specimens - to more than 100 trees and embracing the city's public space - and in the autumn will leave for new destinations, such as Barcelona and Valencia, heavily hit by flooding last year.
Until 19 June 2025, the public can visit the forest by appointment.
