During Euroflora, Genoa offers a wealth of opportunities, coinciding with the spring long weekends. One of the highlights is the spring edition of Rolli Days, which will take place over the two weekends of Euroflora: Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27, and Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4. The doors of the city’s aristocratic palaces will open, and in the year of the Jubilee, visitors will have the chance to explore some of the most magnificent gentilizia churches, rich in history, offering a true network of connections between Genoa and Rome.

“Giorgio Griffa: Painting the Invisible” is the exhibition presented by Palazzo Ducale Fondazione per la Cultura during the Euroflora period in the rooms of the Doge’s Apartment. Euroflora ticket holders will enjoy a reduced entry fee. The works of Griffa, an artist with three Venice Biennales and over 200 solo exhibitions in museums and institutions worldwide, with their delicate pastel tones and expressive power, form an ideal connection with the strength of Nature, as revealed in the colors of flowers. Additionally, the thirteen arches of the Loggia of Palazzo Ducale, after the site-specific installation Orlando’s Library by Daniela Comani, will host a work particularly related to the themes of Euroflora. “Nature of Nature of Nature,” the title of Luca Trevisani’s installation, explores the theme of Metamorphosis by reproducing Paul Klee’s geometric speculations on slices of dried apples through a UV printer.

For the 13th edition of Euroflora, the Diocesan Museum of Genoa will also wear the colors of a beautiful garden. From the paintings displayed throughout the museum, plants, flowers, and fruits will “peek through,” symbolizing a lush and magnificent nature, while also serving as containers of symbolic meanings to enrich the scenes depicted in the artworks. From lilies to roses, from forget-me-nots to wild strawberries, from figs to resilient ivy—this route is designed to astonish, to admire the mastery of nature and the skill of those who have tried to reproduce it on precious objects and those that are part of our daily lives. The exhibition will be open from April 25th to June 2nd.
