GGC PROJECTS
Gianni Manfredini
Milan, Italy
What do you do when the grey urban landscape has grown up to surround you in concrete & brick & stone?
GGC member & leader, Gianni Manfredini became a gift to the streets of Milano, & the world through his gardening, public speaking, art, theatre, & film.
Key programs include:
Flying Plants - Guerrilla Gardening
Natura Theatre - Educational Public Entertainment
Flying Plants // Bosco Vertical
Milano has become famous for its architecture & landscapes towering above the streets, “Bosco Vertical”.
In this urban landscape of Milan, limited in unoccupied soil, Gianni’s brand of Guerrilla Gardening takes his community & our audience up into the sky with “Flying Plants”.
Gianni’s painted cans create miniature garden homes for plants tied high on the city’s street poles, signs, gutters, & buildings.
Natura Theatre
Milano is one of the global leaders in opera, ballet, & theatre.
Gianni’s “Natura Theatre” is created as a gift to the young minds of his community, freeing them from the grey modernism that shadows the wild natural earth below their feet.
Gianni fills the minds of the young & old with stories of life & nature in its wild germinating form.
Milan // City of Modern Change
Milan is an Italian city of modern change, technology, fashion, finance, art, & sanctity.
Just as this city glitters with the changing contrasts of fashion & technology, architecture & art, finance & religion, Guerrilla Gardening finds itself a stage to perform on here.
