Branded / L'Orto Felice
Nature has the power to transform in profound ways. In the celebrated Chianti hills, older farmers share their generational wisdom and agricultural skills to differently-abled adults who tend the San Felice garden every day. A project of the Allianz Foundation UMANA MENTE (which translates to humanly), the Felice garden's produce is sold at local farmer's markets and furnishes Borgo San Felice’s two restaurants with seasonal bounty year-round. The gentle collaboration between workers and staff as they plant and gather in the calming environs of the Tuscan countryside allows program participants to build confidence and thrive, eventually preparing them for employment in the outside world.
