Restoration of Prato’s historic San Leonardo al Palco garden is complete, funded through Italy’s recovery plan by the Culture Ministry. On September 10, ANSA reported the recovery of two hectares, with public reopening announced for September 12. [2]
The diocese documents an accessible walking and cycling path, an audio guide usable by blind visitors, and a vegetable garden intended also for educational activities. The park has received 800 medicinal plants and 48 fruit trees. [1]
The bright side
