On 31st May and 1st and 2nd June an interesting exhibition took place in the magnificent courtyard of the Villa Pallavicino: the fair of the biodiversity, Ortocolto.
Just at the entrance the visitor was amazed by the riot of the scents of the officinal plants and of the colors of the flowers.
Beyond the exhibition, there were interesting lectures and entertaining for the children.
The feast went on until night with concerts and dance shows.
All around was requesting your involvement.

Two short noted about the Villa:
Built at the beginning of 16th century, the attribution of the architectural plan is uncertain.
It was the summer residence of the Pallavicino marquises.
It hosted famous figures: first of all Charles V of Hapsburg in 1533 and in 1543, for the historic meeting between the emperor and the pope Paul III Farnese.
After a period of neglect (and suspected vanishing of works of art), from October 2009 the villa hosts the Museo Nazionale Giuseppe Verdi, so refreshing the pomp of the origin.
On the south of the palace there are the stables, now under repair, where soon will open the museum dedicated to the famous soprano Renata Tebaldi.
