On Saturday 12th May Ca' delle Rose opened its garden.
Visitors were able to admire an enchanting rose garden
in all its flowering where beauty and harmony
combined with nature and passion created
a unique multitude of fragrances and colours
that filled the atmosphere with wonder.
The roses and their most beautiful flowers
and buds characterised this intense
and moving afternoon. A modest but precious atmosphere
made this event at Ca' delle Rose
a magic and unique opportunity
to learn more about roses and
their intimate bond with Beauty and Femininity.
After being warmly welcomed by the maîtresse de maison,
the guests learnt how the garden came to life, received a detailed garden map,
the list of the roses here planted and available to all rose-lovers.
Among fragrances and colours, espaliered
climbing roses and fruit tree branches
the guests were able to admire the drawings
and the watercolours by Parisian illustrator Vincent Brunot
and the photographs by the author of the book
La Grazia Delle Rose to be published soon.
The author also gave a wonderful introduction of her book.
Later on Fossalta di Portogruaro’s Mayor Bruno Panegai
underlined in his spontaneous speech how the presence of the rose
on the territory dated back in times.
He expressed the desire to bequeath and further develop
this culture through the creation
of an antique rose pathway leading from Villa Mocenigo
to Borgo Antico di Gorgo and its fine church of S. Cristina.
He also expressed his gratitude
to Grazia Adamo Giovannetti for the contribution
she took with her great knowledge about roses.
The host thanked all the people for coming
and told the story of her house, how her garden was brought into being
and how deep the love was that bound this place to her family
and to her book. Love, rose, woman poems were performed
according to an invisible trilogy thus further
filling this intense afternoon with emotions.
With the last poem verses in mind the visitors
were able to enjoy rose-tasting delicacies prepared by the maison.
In the late golden-lit evening the garden spread
its most delicate fragrances and wonderful shades.
The harmony was a melody that rocked our souls.
The grace of roses will welcome the visitors
in the forthcoming spring season
with fine and pleasant meetings.
