From mid-May to the beginning of June, the Rhododendrons Bowl, located at the gates of the Zegna Oasis, commissioned by Ermenegildo Zegna and designed in the 1950s by architect Pietro Porcinai, blossoms into a palette of red, pink, white and purple shades, creating an evocative explosion of colours. This year, once again, visitors can enjoy guided walks led by OverAlp's naturalist guides.

From Saturday 17 May until 2 June, the guides will explain the phenomenon of flowering, leading visitors through marvelous floral specimens and open-air artworks, such as "Two Way Mirror/ Hedge Arabesque" by Dan Graham. This installation, part of the "All’Aperto" project promoted by the Zegna Foundation, envelops visitors in a play of reflections through differentiated refraction, multiplying their views of the surrounding landscape and the vibrant colours of the blooms.
