12th edition
the
Citrus fruits
of Cannero Riviera
9-17 March 2019
Sweet orange
ph. Carlo Bava Citrus X sinensis
Not only Oranges!
The gardens of Cannero Riviera will once again open
their gates into the realm of biodiversity, giving visi-
tors the opportunity to admire the citrus fruits that
have made their home here in the northernmost
reaches of Italy.
The 2019 edition will feature the orange, with the
invaluable collaboration of Professor Giuseppe
Barbera of the University of Palermo.
Talks and discussions will cover the extraordinary
presence in loco of oranges with pigmented pulp, as
well as moving beyond regional boundaries to reflect
on the theme of “oranges-territory-legality”, with the
contribution of growers and students from the town
of Lentini, located on the slopes of Mt. Etna.
This year will also mark the conclusion of the three-year
cycle of “OrangeArancio”, the landscape installation cre-
ated by volunteer workshops and dedicated to the cit-
rus fruit considered the symbol of perfection.
The Rio Cannero stream will also be explored
through a photographic and sound installation ded-
icated to the “Dream of the Four Melarance”.
And this year’s art exhibit will present Simonetta
Occhipinti‘s watercolor portraits of citrus fruits, Gold
Medal winner of the 2016 London Botanical Art Show.
All this ... and much more!
Available: map with itineraries and points of interest
Local restaurants: special citrus-themed menus
Local hotels: special weekend tariffs and offers
The event will be held irregardless of the weather

Citrus Fruit on Show
In Wonderland
“So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in
Wonderland, though [Alice] knew she had but to open them again,
and all would change to dull reality” Lewis Carroll
Surprised by the unexpected beauty of Cannero and its
gardens, visitors of past editions have often described it
as a “Wonderland”, which became the inspiration for the
exhibition in the Sala Pietro Carmine.
The dreamlike, surreal atmosphere of Lewis Carroll's fairy
tale has been recreated as the background setting for the
display of the incredible variety of these winter fruits … a
stroll amid colors, scents and brushstrokes of fantasy, in a
garden where nonsensical decorations, Victorian fancy
and sensory suggestions all merge together sans rhyme
or reason.
Designed to pleasantly surprise the visitor, as well as
explore new ways of presentation, yet with the spotlight
always on the stars of the event: the great variety of cit-
rus fruit found in Cannero’s incredible gardens.
Plants, books and publications, sweets and perfume available
for purchase.

OrangeArancio
Landscape Installation
Lido Beach
9 to 17 March
The journey of a thousand orange spheres, symboliz-
ing the orange and the ideal of perfection, continues
into its third and final year. Once again the colourful
orbs will be arranged in a bright sheltered corner in an
interpretation of the idea of a “garden town”. A new
and surprising vision of the concept of awareness and
safeguarding of the territory, developed through the
introduction of different materials. The installation is
the result of the work of a group of volunteers (mem-
bers of the community and students) coordinated and
led by the landscape designer Michela Pasquali and
architect Federica Cornalba, in collaboration with the
Associazione Culturale Gabaré.
Saturday 9 March, 4-5.30pm

Exhibits Citrus: fruits of the gods by Simonetta Occhipinti Le Scuderie Park Hotel Italia 9/10 March and 16/17 March - 10.30-6pm After winning the Gold Medal at the 2016 London Botanical Art Show and being exhibited at the Botanical Garden of Florence and at Murabilia in Lucca, these 25 precious watercolor portraits, a number of which depict historic varieties of the Medicea collec- tion, are now on display here in Cannero Riviera. Simonetta Occhipinti, member of the American Society of Botanical Artists and the Circolo degli Artisti Casa di Dante, has exhibited her works at the Museum of Natural History and the Accademia dei Georgofili in Florence, the University of Camerino, Lindley Hall in London, and the Botanical Garden of Padua, where she participated in the Botanical Art Worldwide in 2018. The artist’s refined tech- nique, although solidly rooted in the in-depth study of Renaissance painting, is rendered contemporary by her par- ticular use of light and shading.
Roundabout the Orange Cultural encounter Hapimag Conference room Saturday 16 March - 10-12.30am According to FAO criteria, the sweet orange is the fourth most cultivated fruit in the world, and according to Bruno Munari, the orange is the “perfect fruit”. A panel of authoritative voices, conducted by the natural- ist journalist Mimma Pallavicini, of Gardenia magazine, will present a series of fascinating and varied points of view regarding this sun-drenched citrus fruit that has also brightened the gardens of Cannero Riviera for centuries.

The Dream of the Four Melarance
Rio Cannero Falls
9-17 March
Dreaming of cutting oranges is considered a positive
sign of optimism and resourcefulness. What would
happen if the dreamers were four melarance?
The story teaches us that the princesses hidden within
the fruit could never survive without water.
