Orti Insieme Urban Vegetable Gardens At Il Parteciprato In Milan

A public drinking water fountain and an accompanying sign encouraging visitors to refill reusable bottles are pictured at Il Parteciprato, an urban shared garden, on April 4, 2026 in Milan, Italy. The sign states that Milan's tap water is more controlled and safe than bottled water. Wooden garden sheds and a pergola covered in climbing plants stand in the background. Il Parteciprato is managed by the nonprofit association Parteciprato APS at the corner of Via Faravelli and Via Gattamelata in the Municipio 5 district. (Photo by Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto)
