On Sunday, August 30, 2026, the garden welcomes the end of summer with an afternoon dedicated to the well-being of body, mind and spirit.

At an altitude of 950 metres, surrounded by the late-season colours of the garden, two events invite visitors to slow down and reconnect with themselves: a yoga session in the early afternoon, followed by an outdoor philosophical practice.

3:00 PM | Yoga in the Garden: Release – The Silence of the Mountain

The afternoon begins at 3:00 PM with “Release – The Silence of the Mountain”, a yoga session designed to help participants leave behind the tensions accumulated during the summer.

Through targeted techniques and introspective meditation, participants will be guided towards releasing inner tensions and welcoming new energy, surrounded by the silence and scents of the botanical garden.

4:00 PM | Philosophical Practice: My Garden Is a (Philosophical) School

At 4:00 PM, attention shifts from the body to the mind with the philosophical practice “My Garden Is a (Philosophical) School”, led by Gaia Giovine Proietti.

The activity offers a journey of reflection and discovery, inviting participants to see nature not simply as a physical place, but as a genuine teacher of life and a school of thought, engaging directly with the surrounding environment.

Where and When

The Pietra Corva Botanical Garden is located in Romagnese, at an altitude of 950 metres on the slopes of Pietra di Corvo. It is open on Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with group visits available by reservation on weekdays, until September 30, 2026.

Admission costs €3 for adults aged 18 to 64. Entry is free for visitors under 18, over 65, residents of the Oltrepò Pavese Mountain Community and, for everyone, on the first Sunday of each month.

It is the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to summer with a slow and mindful afternoon, surrounded by breath, silence and words, in the unique setting of one of the most evocative botanical gardens in the Oltrepò Pavese.

Come and experience the end of summer among nature, yoga and philosophy at Pietra Corva.
