May - September
Cervia, Milano Marittima, Pinarella, Tagliata
Cervia Garden City
From spring to autumn, the green spaces of Cervia, Milano Marittima, Pinarella, and Tagliata are transformed by spectacular botanical and floral displays. On the occasion of Cervia Città Giardino (Cervia Garden City), the urban landscape turns into a mosaic of scents and colours, bound to amaze both residents and tourists alike. Under the slogan "Flowers of freedom, roots of hope", the aim is to translate the core principles of democracy into a visual representation, harnessing the communicative and universal power of nature.
Among the highlights of this edition, two events hold great symbolic value: the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the twinning between Cervia and the Polish city of Jelenia Góra the guest of honour at the Sposalizio del Mare (Marriage of the Sea) and the presence of three Canadian delegations representing the cities of Maple Ridge, Stratford, and Yarmouth. These delegations represent the international association Communities in Bloom (which recently honoured Cervia with the highest accolade in its International Challenge) and are dedicated to creating a garden in the very central Piazza Garibaldi.
Originally conceived by Germano Todoli and carried forward by his son Riccardo, this floral art exhibition debuted in 1972 as Maggio in Fiore, taking on an increasingly international character over the following decades.
Today, Cervia Città Giardino is Europe’s largest open-air floral art exhibition and an international benchmark for architects and landscape technicians. Having successfully grown and evolved, it has transformed into a crossroads of cultures, friendships, and best practices in public green space management.
Today, it is far more than just a floral display: it is a living laboratory of ideas for the future, sending a message of sustainability and beauty that weaves through the city's streets and parks.
