Nowtilus: Coltivare la città con Michele Savorgnano e Lorenzo Basadonna scarpa, Ortofoto

Cultivate the City with Michele Savorgnano and Lorenzo Basadonna Scarpa, Ortofoto. In the sixth episode of Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century, we go on an adventure to discover the green spaces of Venice, looking not only for plants and trees, but also for spaces and ideas that promote a new way of cultivating this city. Joining us on this journey are Michele Savorgnano, founder of the F.U.D. (Fattoria Urbana Diffusa/Popular Urban Farm) project, and Lorenzo Basadonna Scarpa, co-creator of the Ortofoto project, along with Giovanni Dal Sasso and Lucrezia Lamera (mapsontheluum). Michele Savorgnano will be talking to us about permaculture, community vegetable gardens, and hidden gardens, while Lorenzo Basadonna Scarpa will take us on a journey to discover the solitary trees that populate Venice, reconstructing their significance and their importance in the ambitious project of classification and mapping instigated by Ortofoto.
