Horti is a 35,000 square metre park that the Almo Collegio Borromeo of Pavia has redeveloped as a public space where natural habitats, contemporary art, cultural reflection, ethical commitment, equity and social inclusion intertwine. This area, once dedicated to cultivation for the College's students, is now a place for social interaction, creativity and knowledge, born from the belief that beauty has a redeeming and pedagogical power.

Horti is a nature park which, through waterways, flower-filled meadows, plants and shrubs, bird feeders, "insect hotels" and beehives, showcases a variety of natural habitats to safeguard biodiversity. Horti is also an art garden, as it features works by some of the most significant artists of our time, set in dialogue with nature and the historic and archaeological architecture.

Furthermore, Horti is an ethical project because it promotes social inclusion, solidarity, and the defence of sustainability and equity, working in partnership with the local community.

Horti is also a centre for cultural production that aims to play an active role in the revitalisation and reconstruction of public spaces, promoting places for social interaction, the interweaving of knowledge and a sense of ethics.
