In Porta Nuova you will find a different kind of library, a library of trees. Between Unicredit Tower and the Bosco Verticale lies BAM, a living botanical anthology. Trees and plants grouped in 22 circular areas add a modern park element in a city that is not a living example of any particular past era, but a continuously evolving ecosystem that reminds us the future is only a second away.
There are zones to exercise, play, relax, admire the modern surrounding buildings, the sky, and the never-ending coming and going of people. In contrast with the rest of the green spaces in Milan, which are behind walls and close after a certain hour, this is open, serving as a connector — a place to stop or pass through, to linger or simply hurry by.
Follow the social media channels to discover events and workshops for all ages, or simply use them to relax and grab a bite. Although new, it has already become a local favorite spot for a busy lunch break. Enjoy!
