Orti Insieme Urban Vegetable Gardens At Il Parteciprato In Milan

The entrance gate of Il Parteciprato, an urban shared garden, is pictured on April 4, 2026 in Milan, Italy. A sign reading ''Benvenuti al Parteciprato, uno spazio condiviso, aperto alla collettivita'' (Welcome to Parteciprato, a shared space open to the community) hangs on the mesh fence at the corner of Via Faravelli and Via Gattamelata. Il Parteciprato is run by the nonprofit association Parteciprato APS, which converted a disused municipal plot in the Municipio 5 district into a community garden featuring raised vegetable beds, a wildflower meadow and shared furniture built by volunteers.
