The Biosphere is an extraordinary spherical structure of glass and steel that dominates the Old Port of Genoa, a work of great ingenuity designed by the renowned architect Renzo Piano. This futuristic "crystal globe" is not only a masterpiece of architectural design, but also an important oasis of biodiversity, home to a fascinating microcosm of tropical forests.

Inside the Biosphere, visitors can immerse themselves in an exotic and vibrant world, exploring an ecosystem that faithfully reproduces the rich and varied flora and fauna of the rainforests. Among the lush tropical plants, you'll find giant ferns, spectacular orchids and rare plant species, while above you, the tree canopy offers shelter to a multitude of colourful birds and iridescent-winged butterflies.

 

The Biosphere is also an important educational center, where it is possible to understand the crucial importance of these delicate ecosystems and the dangers they face due to human activities. Through information panels, interactive exhibitions and educational trails, visitors are made aware of the need to conserve and protect these precious natural resources.

This jewel in the heart of Genoa is not only a visual marvel, but also a symbol of hope and commitment to protecting the environment, inviting everyone to reflect on our role in protecting the planet and to rediscover the beauty and fragility of nature. A visit to the Biosphere is an exciting and educational journey, which leaves an indelible mark on the mind and heart of every visitor.
