The structure, designed by the creative director Marco Balich, buds from the search for a decidedly Italian symbol, representative of one of the most extraordinary periods of human genius: the Renaissance period. The architecture of the Tree, which technically represents an “extrusion” from Michelangelo’s floor in the Piazza del Campidoglio, reaches a height of 37 metres and its foliage widens out to about 42 metres.

The concept
Following the metaphor of the breeding ground, the Pavilion becomes the Nursery, the humus of resources in which the Tree embeds its roots into: experience, knowledge, culture, material and immaterial patrimony are our great “strengths” and our vital energy. The leafy branches of the Tree are nourished by this sap and redistribute the seeds all over the world, in a symbolic gesture of participation, sharing and generosity.
