With the aims to improve the culture of urban green in citizens and public administrators, to promote the national horticultural sector and to create initiatives capable of highlighting the importance of green planning in modern cities, the Italian Ministry of Agriculture has funded the Project VERDECITTÀ “The renewal of trees in cities - green, beauty and health: the made in Italy of Italian horticulture”, coordinated by CREA-OF Pescia (PT, Italy). Five Italian cities have joined the project, providing the availability of prestigious squares and their own technicians for the realization of green areas and informative events the about importance of urban green. Scheduled in 2020, the project has been postponed to 2021 due to the CoVid emergency which exploded last year, after a severe remodeling in order to allow it to take place even in the persistent state of emergency that prohibits any kind of gatherings. The events will take place between May and September 2021.
