Un giardino di Rose sull'acqua
I have just come across Venezia: un giardino di Rose sull'acqua (Venice: a rose garden on the water), but unfortunately can't seem to find any photographs of the event. On the 6th of May, Venice's Grand Canal was transformed into a colourful rose garden; a project by Dania Lupi, president of the Rosetieventi association, in collaboration with John Aliata, Gianluca Bisol, and Anna Maria Giannuzzi Miraglia.
All the most beautiful cities in the world have a rose garden, except Venice, and Lupi wishes to promote the initiative through transforming the Grand Canal with flowers. In a press conference, Dania Lupi explains her concept, 'Tutte le più belle città del mondo hanno un roseto tranne Venezia. Per questo a maggio promuovo questa iniziativa con l'obiettivo di far fiorire il Canal Grande. Quattro anni fa mi sono state regalate 2100 piante di rose e ho pensato di dar vita a queste installazioni di fiori sull'acqua. Quest'anno saranno 1100 piante e 2000 le rose recise che sfileranno sull'acqua.'
