    Tips

    May 25, 2022

    Plants were an integral part of human life in the Middle Ages, functioning as food, aroma, medicine, textile fibre, paint, soap and much more. They also had a symbolic meaning related to spiritual life. In the garden of the Rocca Borromeo, the aim was to recreate the ambience of this complex and fascinating world. Through the study of texts and iconographies, the plants known and used at the time were identified, searched for and brought back as far as possible.
