The 16th and 17th of May 2026 will see the reopening of the gardens of Padua with the Festival Anime Verdi.

45 private gardens, along with 4 public parks of the City as a precious corollary. A widespread path that transforms Padua into one large urban park, where the streets of the center and those near the city walls become part of an open, continuous, and shared landscape.

For two days, those wearing the Festival bracelet symbolically become co-owners of an extraordinary green heritage, a common good that is revealed thanks to the generosity of the owners, who, with trust and hospitality, choose to share their most intimate and cared-for spaces.

Amidst the splashing of a fountain, the rustling of leaves, and the crunching of footsteps on the paths, gazes and stories of curious visitors intertwine, often surprised by the hidden beauty of the City. Over 100 young volunteers guard these small great treasures, welcoming the public with commitment and dedication.

Anime Verdi is more than an event, it is a temporary community where visitors, owners, partners, and youth share an experience that unites nature, culture, and relationships. The Festival is enriched by a program widely spread with guided tours, concerts, performances, meetings, and activities.

Participating in Anime Verdi is an invitation to slow down, observe, and feel part of a living heritage, to be discovered and preserved together.
