An important anniversary dedicated to our Tunisian nursery and the whole Maghreb area. A product of a historic cooperation between the Faro and Belkhodja families. The heart of this partnership is the 50-hectare nursery of 50 which has contributed to the creation of some garden design projects such as the Four Seasons in Tunis and Sfax airport.

The extraordinary setting of Radicepura Botanical Park houses some internationally famous works of art which testify to the relationship between our work and the world of culture and art. An absolute masterpiece is The Dream of Empedocles by Emilio Isgrò, a sculpture fashioned by hand representing three lemon seeds carved from lava stone. Other magnificent works include Large Fossils by Alfio Bonanno, memorial sculptures placed among the plants, and Federico Baronello’s installation.

The winery is situated in a new subterranean building which exists in complete harmony with its surroundings. Its construction was driven by eco-friendly ideals and energy saving technology. Placed among are the barrels are some outstanding works of art created by artists and crafts people using volcanic rocks, iron, wood, and soil from the vineyards in a perfect balance between culture and wine. Artists who have worked on this project include Alfio Bonanno and Giorgio Vigna.

The Fondazione Radicepura was created in 2017 at the behest of the Faro family, with the aim of promoting social solidarity through the protection and enhancement of nature, encouraging the development of landscape culture in a Mediterranean environment, the protection of the territory, and education and scientific research. In addition to the development of landscape culture in the Mediterranean environment, one of the main objectives of the Foundation is to promote study of the environmental adaptability of species of botanical interest, through the identification of the most suitable cultivation techniques, based on principles of natural farming and biodiversity preservation. The Foundation therefore intends to enhance nature as an engine of global development through prestigious events, initiatives both independent and in partnership with others, and cultural influencing to transmit sustainable and universal messages. Foremost among these is the international event that is the “Radicepura Garden Festival – Mediterranean Garden Biennial”.
