About this experience

Experience 800 years of history in the famous woods where the patron saint of Italy meditated and prayed. As you climb to the top of the 14th-century tower, the Bosco di San Francesco unfolds. Feast your eyes on Michelangelo Pistoletto's "Third Paradise" – a masterpiece of 121 olive trees, arranged in double rows to form three large concentric circles – that symbolises the union between heaven and earth. Back on the ground, take the artist's invitation and walk the winding road among the rows, becoming part of the work as you go. It's a real call for reflection on the possible peaceful coexistence between man and nature.
