The exhibition itinerary is developed in the 15 historic rooms of the Miradolo Castle, then right through the English park where it is possible to meet some botanical species from all over the world and 5 monumental trees.

The exhibition develops around the concept of the alphabet primer, an ideal path, in alphabetical order, of thoughts and references to learn to read not only the garden, but also the relationship between man and the environment.
The exhibition takes the visitor on a journey “beyond the garden”, through Paolo Pejrone’s thoughts, philosophy, “world”.
The words build an imaginary dialogue with important works of art, objects, photographs, watercolors, projects, memorabilia, video installations.

For the first time, the Vegetable Garden can also be visited, to discover the most rustic part of the Castle, with the stable, the barn, the oven, the chicken coop and the wash house.

Moreover, a guided tour of the historic park of Miradolo Castle is available: four walking itineraries, one for each season, four different stories, to discover not only the beauties of the park but the changing nature.

The Miradolo Castle is located in San Secondo di Pinerolo, in the Miradolo area, in the province of Turin.
