Piero Formica

Gardens crossed by paths that branch off and intersect dot the art of entrepreneurship. Located in the Sicilian Piraino, a medieval village in the province of Messina, there is the garden of Giuseppe Gembillo, former professor of history and philosophy of complexity and science at the University of Messina. Gembillo has designed a garden that is an event in continuous evolution. On the hill, a window overlooking the sea and the Aeolian Islands, the garden receives the breath of Aeolus, the god of the winds bringing as a gift the charm of myths. Gembillo learned the arts of knowing how to do, think, imagine and understand from Piracmone (whence the name Piraino), the cyclops who worked iron, designed lightning strikes and built walls. The four types of knowledge are essences of the flower of “knowledge of knowledge” – namely, the knowledge that reflects on itself.
