SUMMARY:Botanical Garden: second phase of restyling
DESCRIPTION:The first renovation site of the Botanical Garden of the University of Parma\, relating to works financed under the PNRR investment line  “Programmi per valorizzare l’identità dei luoghi: parchi e giardini storici”\, supported by the European Union – NextGenerationEU. \n\n\nThe work\, in fact a first part of a larger restyling of the garden in Via Farini\, involved the conservative restoration of internal pathways\, fountains\, stone flower beds and the gate and access staircase from Viale Martiri della Libertà\, restored to its original colours. A lighting and irrigation system was also installed for all 11\,000 square metres of the garden\, with a recovery of the water used to feed the fountains. \nThe most important operation involved the construction of a new exhibition greenhouse to be dedicated to succulent plants\, built according to the specific ecological requirements of high-altitude Cactaceae. The decision to create a small rock garden and a large dry garden\, as well as the refurbishment of the wetlands\, followed one of the most important guidelines for the future management of the Garden: to represent a sort of “urban embassy” of the most relevant and sensitive habitats in the area\, in synergy with the framework agreement that the University has recently signed with the Ente Parchi del Ducato. \n\n\nThe work also laid the foundations for the complete redevelopment of the offer in terms of communication\, education and accessibility\, with the creation of new visitor routes based on the balance between the multimedia component and direct experience\, increasing the dimension of the visual\, olfactory\, sound and tactile landscape. Finally\, more historic trees were secured through modern arboricultural approaches aimed at prolonging their life\, to be illustrated to the public as a correct management model for the urban tree component. \nThe closure of the PNRR funding activities now allows the start of a new phase in the parallel building renovation project involving the Botanical Garden’s historical buildings\, including the Ferdinandee Greenhouses and the School of Botany. This second line of action\, which has benefited from a fundamental impulse and active collaboration from “Parma\, io ci sto!”\, is co-financed by the University of Parma\, the Ministry of University and Research\, the Cariparma Foundation and the Chiesi Group. \nThe restoration project\, developed in its executive phase by the companies Mazzei Architects srl\, Faccio Engineering srl and SC Engineering srl starting with the final design by arch. Guido Canali\, focuses on a conservative approach\, aimed at preserving the historical and botanical structures while enhancing the existing spaces. \n\n\nThe intervention aims to guarantee maximum flexibility of use\, which in the case of the 18th century Serre Ferdinandee will translate into the reconstruction of the roof and systems\, the restoration of the historical glass windows and the recovery of the interior spaces\, to be used mainly for the conservation of plants but also for educational and exhibition activities\, maintaining flexibility for future changes. The greenhouse forecourt is preserved\, preserving the existing vegetation\, restoring the greenhouses\, the characteristic balustrade and the warm beds intended for winter sheltering of the Parma Violet. \n  \nA new elevated walkway will be built\, with a pergola to house new plant collections on the north side of the Ferdinandee greenhouses. The west end\, a building erected in the 1960s next to the greenhouses themselves\, will be rebuilt in a new contemporary look to house reception\, cafeteria and bookshop activities. The structure will be characterised by green walls\, which will also be placed along the eastern portion of the Serre Ferdinandee to screen the service rooms; the choice of the plants to be used\, climbing and others\, is the result of joint work between the Botanical Garden staff and the agronomist landscape architect Annachiara Vendramin. \nThe School of Botany\, originally built in 1859\, will instead undergo conservative restoration and consolidation; it will be refurbished to house a small botanical museum on the ground floor\, dedicated to the collections of herbals\, books\, prints and other botanical objects belonging to the University of Parma and other institutions\, in continuity with the cultural and popular line already set out in 2024 with the “Impronte – Noi e le Piante” exhibition. The upper floor will instead house the archive of herbaria and the rest of the historical book collections\, allowing them to be consulted\, which is currently precluded. \nFinally\, a technical room will be created in a portion of the basement of the Via Farini building for the district heating exchanger. The connection to the city grid replaces the construction of the originally planned geothermal plant\, guaranteeing a significant reduction in interference with the existing vegetation\, which is subject to protection. \n\nThe entire project is the result of the joint work of several competences present in the University\, in total synergy with the lines that are inspiring the refurbishment of the Museum of Natural History. In both museum structures of the University of Parma\, the intention is to express the depth of the relationship between people and nature in an integrated and user-centred key\, amalgamating in a single voice botanical\, zoological\, naturalistic\, landscape\, cultural\, historical\, aesthetic and social aspects that are often illustrated and experienced separately. Once this intervention has been completed\, the Botanical Garden will become a place of dialogue and aggregation\, capable of hosting events and educational courses to raise awareness of environmental\, cultural and scientific issues among the population. \n\nThe ultimate objective is to adapt the structure to the contemporary dynamics of scientific popularisation without losing its fundamental historical roots or botanical identity: from places for the mere conservation and exhibition of local and exotic plant species to platforms for communicating and discussing major issues with society\, in a reciprocal growth\, also through the dissemination of correct environmental education\, seeking to attract audiences on both a local and national scale.

SUMMARY:The MIPAM network is born\, with the University of Parma among its founding members
DESCRIPTION:MIPAM – Musei Italiani con Patrimonio dal Mondo (Italian Museums with World Heritage) is officially launched. This national network brings together Italian museums\, including the museum system of the University of Parma\, committed to the conservation and enhancement of collections from around the world\, with the aim of promoting dialogue\, sharing best practices and transparency in the management and care of this heritage. \nOn 10 June\, the final meeting to establish the network was held at the Stibbert Museum in Florence. The network was created after four preparatory meetings held between 2023 and 2025 in Milan\, Parma\, Turin and Florence\, involving institutions from all over Italy. The new network aims to be a point of reference for directors\, curators\, conservators and archivists from state\, municipal\, university\, missionary and private institutions. \nItaly is home to a huge number of non-European works and artefacts\, which have been arriving in the country since the 15th century. Many of these collections are housed in little-known institutions with limited resources\, which today\, thanks to MIPAM\, can count on a network of specialists and inter-museum collaborations. \nThe network includes institutions that are very different from each other in terms of their institutional\, historical and collection-related characteristics. In some cases\, they operate outside traditional museum circuits\, but together they share the mission of promoting research\, increasing accessibility and supporting the enhancement of non-European heritage and its complex cultural contexts of reference and origin. \nThese different institutions now have a stable reference point for developing collaborative projects\, strengthening dialogue between the national and international spheres\, sharing common problems and comparing their respective best practices. \nMIPAM will organise regular meetings and propose joint projects such as exhibitions\, publications\, training activities and public programmes that promote shared tangible and intangible heritage. \nMIPAM brings with it a new awareness: that of a more connected\, informed Italian museum sector that is ready to face contemporary challenges related to history\, ethics and the preservation of global cultural heritage. \nThe network\, whose foundation was promoted by MUDEC\, is always open to new members. \nFounding Museums: \nCAM Cultures and Mission\, Polo culturale dei Missionari della Consolata – Torino \nCastello D’Albertis Museo delle Culture del Mondo – Genova \nCentro di Ateneo per i Musei Università degli Studi di Padova \nFondazione MIC Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza – Onlus \nGallerie degli Uffizi\, Firenze \nMUCIV – Museo delle Civiltà\, Roma \nMUDEC – Museo delle Culture\, Milano \nMusei Civici di Reggio Emilia \nMuseo Civico di Modena \nMuseo Civico di Scienze Naturali “Enrico Caffi” – Bergamo \nMuseo Civico – Tortona (Alessandria) \nMuseo Civico Etnografico “Giovanni Podenzana” – La Spezia \nMuseo d’Arte Cinese ed Etnografico dei Missionari Saveriani – Parma \nMAO Museo d’Arte Orientale (Fondazione Torino Musei) – Torino \nMuseo d’Arte Orientale\, Venezia \nMuseo d’Arte Orientale – Collezione Mazzocchi – Coccaglio (Brescia) \nMuseo d’Arte Orientale “Edoardo Chiossone” – Genova \nMuseo di Antropologia ed Etnografia dell’Università degli Studi di Torino \nMuseo Egizio – Torino \nMuseo Etno-Archeologico Castiglioni – Varese \nMuseo Etnologico Missionario di Colle Don Bosco – Castelnuovo Don Bosco (Asti) \nMuseo Popoli e Culture PIME – Milano \nMuseo Stibbert – Firenze \nPalazzo dei Musei – Varallo (Vercelli) \nPalazzo Madama – Museo Civico d’Arte Antica (Fondazione Torino Musei) – Torino \nSistema Museale di Ateneo\, Università di Parma \nThe board of directors is composed of: Marina Pugliese (director of MUDEC – Museum of Cultures\, Milan)\, Davide Quadrio (director of MAO Museum of Oriental Art\, Turin)\, Andrea Viliani (director of MUCIV – Museum of Civilisation\, Rome)\, Enrico Colle (director of the Stibbert Museum\, Florence)\, Fr.

SUMMARY:Until 24 October: Giorgio Armani\, a tribute by the University of Parma and CSAC
DESCRIPTION:The University of Parma and the CSAC (Centre for Studies and Archives of Communication) pay tribute to Giorgio Armani a few days after his passing. \nFrom 22 September to 24 October\, a selection of reproductions from the more than 8\,000 drawings\, sketches\, and other material in the Giorgio Armani Collection\, personally donated by the designer to the CSAC in the 1980s\, will be on display in the Cloister of the University’s D’Azeglio Complex. The material selected covers the years from 1975 to 1980. \nThe title of this special initiative is a phrase that the great designer often used with his staff\, and which he also repeated in several interviews: If I like it\, you must like it too. \nThe inauguration was held on Monday 22 September\, with speeches by Rector Paolo Martelli and Deputy Director of the CSAC Sara Martin.\nAmong those present was Barbara Lori\, Vice-President of the Legislative Assembly of the Emilia-Romagna Region. \nThe reproductions\, displayed in the cloister and accessible to all interested parties during the venue’s opening hours\, offer a glimpse into the early stages of Armani’s creative process\, highlighting the distinctive features of his style. \nThe original drawings\, created using mixed techniques on paper and cardboard\, are often accompanied by notes and fabric samples\, and many bear the original stamp of the fashion house. This material is a valuable testimony to Armani’s working method and aesthetic vision. \nThe tribute celebrates the creative genius of one of the most iconic figures in Italian fashion worldwide. The slender\, stylised female figures in the drawings recall the visual culture of the 1930s and the graphic inventions of artists such as Guido Crepax. \nThe representation of the female figure and the choice of materials express a new attitude\, combining freedom of movement\, elegance and awareness. Soft lines and flowing fabrics alternate with more structured materials\, in a balance of contrasts that characterises the designer’s entire production. \nThe suit\, reinterpreted through the famous unstructured jacket\, becomes a symbol of contemporary feminine elegance\, while the men’s proposals\, far from classic rigidity\, inaugurate an innovative vision of fashion\, where gender codes intertwine and are redefined. \nThe inauguration on Monday 22 September was an opportunity to announce an exhibition of Armani’s original sketches\, to be held at the University’s headquarters in the coming months.
