Surprises at the Gazebo Forbito Sambuy for “M’illumino di meno”

Friday, February 13

Giardino forbito opens its doors to a creative workshop where children can make colorful Carnival-themed artworks using the collage technique, working with paper, buttons, cut-outs, and many other materials.

While young artists bring their creations to life, parents can relax inside the Gazebo Forbito Sambuy — browsing a book from the bookcrossing corner and enjoying wines from local producers along with regional specialties.

Saturday, February 14 — “Kiss Point at Gazebo Forbito Sambuy”

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, on Saturday, February 14, 2026, the Gazebo Forbito Sambuy will transform into an intimate setting of candlelight and soft illumination, evoking emotion and the senses. Beneath the large mistletoe — marking the inauguration of a permanent Kiss Point — couples are invited to share a candlelit toast and a kiss in the dark, a poetic gesture that sparks dialogue between feeling and atmosphere in a unique and immersive experience.

A workshop curated by Beesù will guide participants in creating beeswax lip balms for perfect kisses. A special toast will feature wines from the Roccassanta winery, founded by blind winemaker and oenologist Pietro Monti. His life story and passion make this moment even more meaningful: after losing his sight in a road accident, Pietro chose to continue working in viticulture with renewed energy and a sensory intuition that goes beyond vision. His wines will take participants into the heart of his vineyards and the care behind each bottle — an experience to be appreciated with all the senses, offering a journey of aromas, flavors, and emotions that transcends physical barriers.

Roccassanta’s labels are also symbols of inclusivity: some feature Braille text, making the tasting experience more accessible and sensory for people with visual impairments.

During the evening, dedicated photographic shots will capture the magic of the event. The images will then be officially presented during “M’illumino di meno” on Monday, February 16, amplifying the symbolic value of a light that turns off to ignite a brighter one — the light of the heart.
