Bosco verticale: two green giants in the heart of Milano
Bosco verticale are a couple of skyscrapers recently built in Milano, Italy. “Bosco verticale” means “vertical wood”: it is a concept of urban garden recalling that of Babylon hanging gardens . Each tree was placed on each terrace with the crane visible on the building roof. The area the towers are placed, Porta Nuova, is still under construction.

The artisan of Malvasia Passito wine: Mauro Pollastri – Punta Aria, Vulcano, Aeolien islands, Italy
On the southern, most remote part of Vulcano island, Mauro Pollastri still produces the authentic, traditional Lipari wine: the Malvasia Passito.
