On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, from 9.30 am to 7.30 pm, Giardini d’Autore takes on the colours of autumn with a special edition which, for the first time, is being held at Castello Benelli.

A recently restored historic residence and now part of the Grandi Giardini Italiani network, Castello Benelli is nestled in the countryside of Bellaria Igea Marina, in a setting that preserves the charm of history and the beauty of the landscape.

It is here that Giardini d’Autore brings its vision to life: the finest Italian nursery growers, botanical collections, craftspeople, designers, workshops, talks and local specialities come together in a landscape that becomes an integral part of the experience.

For two days, the garden at Castello Benelli is transformed into the natural setting for an event that has been nurturing the culture of greenery for over twenty years, forging connections between people, landscapes and knowledge. Castello Benelli becomes part of the Giardini d’Autore narrative, hosting the event within a natural dialogue between history, botany and landscape.
