On Thursday 25 June 2026, at 8:30 PM, at the Civic Cultural Center on Via del Cantiere in Lovere, a lecture by Japanese culture expert Graziana Canova Tura will be held, entitled “I giardini del giappone – naturalezza e spontaneità o creazione umana?”.

Free admission.

No statues, geometric flowerbeds, or spectacular scenery; only a few natural elements characterize Japanese gardens. Stones, water, and trees are some of the key elements that create a setting designed not only for pleasure, but also for relaxation and meditation. We will take a stroll through the gardens of Japan, seeking to capture their beauty and, above all, appreciate the spirit that animates them.
