The Garden of the Righteous of Milan

dedicated to the Righteous from all over the world

Opening in 2003

On 24th January 2003, following the proposal made by the President of Gariwo Gabriele Nissim to reserve a symbolic place in the city for remembrance of morally resistant exemplary individuals from all parts of the Earth, the Garden of the Righteous Worldwide was opened in Milan, in the large green area of Monte Stella. The first trees were dedicated to Moshe Bejski for the Righteous of Shoah, Pietro Kuciukian in honour of the Righteous for Armenians, Svetlana Broz for the Righteous against ethnic cleansing in the Balkans.

The Garden of the Righteous is a place of dialogue and education to personal responsibility that pays tribute to women and men who helped the victims of genocides, persecution and totalitarian regimes in every part of the world. It teaches us to recognize the beauty of good individuals and shows that by exercising even the smallest space of freedom, every human being can become a bulwark against injustice or crimes against humanity.

Activities carried out in this place led to the institution of the Day of the Righteous on 6th March, which became a civil festivity in Italy in 2017.

The Birth of the Association

Since 13th November 2008 the Garden has been managed by the Association for the Garden of the Righteous in Milan, founded by the City of Milan, the Union of Italian Jewish Communities and Gariwo.

Chaired by Milan Mayor in office, every year the Association organizes the ceremony at the Garden on 6th March and coordinates educational, dissemination and cultural activities revolving around this place.

New Look

In 2019 the Garden was renovated based on a project by architects Stefano Valabrega and Giacomo Crepax. The new space has been designed to be a living place of education, remembrance and dialogue not only during official ceremonies, but also throughout the year.

This is why the Garden hosts a real path among the Righteous. After discovering the stories of exemplary individuals honoured with a tree and a memorial stone, one walks through Viale del Bene (the Avenue of the Good) up to Albero della Memoria (the Tree of Remembrance), where plaques dedicated to the new Righteous begin. After this, one reaches Spazio del Dialogo (the Dialogue Room), a small area with a few chairs where one can reflect, read and talk. The path then leads to a peculiar piece, Albero delle Virtù (the Tree of Virtues). Its geometry recalls the map of Milan and words engraved are the values guiding the actions of the Righteous: solidarity, human rights, civil courage, memory, truth.
At the end of the path, surrounded by trees, one eventually reaches an Amphitheatre dedicated to Ulianova Radice, Gariwo director who passed away in 2018. This space can host concerts, theatre performances, debates and classes, to think about the stories of the Righteous and to what their example can teach us in everyday life.

Experiencing the Garden

Every year, on the Day of the Righteous – 6th March, this place hosts the ceremony dedicating new plaques, before city authorities, the Righteous or their representatives and hundreds of students.

However, the Garden is a place to be experienced also at different times. It is an original architectural space, an open-air museum to be discovered as a peculiar corner of the city; it hosts events, concerts, theatre performances and readings; it periodically offers activities for children and youngsters; it can be visited at any time of the year thanks to the dedication of our guides and to the audio guide created by Gariwo editorial staff - a tour telling about exemplary individuals honoured through images, stories, in-depth analyses, interviews, thematic pathways and quizzes to “play” with the Righteous.

    The Righteous reported by civil society

    Over the years, on the occasion of the Day of the Righteous, many exemplary figures reported by citizens and associations have been remembered. Stories related to Milanese social fabric, to the Righteous who helped the persecuted during the Second World War, but also stories in the context of the crises of our time.
    These “Righteous reported by the civil society” have been included in the Virtual Garden - Monte Stella Area, or celebrated during official ceremonies with the delivery of a parchment. Their stories are collected on Gariwo’s website, so that they can be spread among students and citizens, to strengthen the bond between the Righteous and civil society more and more.
