Plantasia: Elisa's Sonic Park Transforms Milan Quarry into Cultural Lab
In Milan, a 40,000-square-meter degraded area will become an urban forest where nature, music, and youth participation aim to create a new regeneration model. Plantasia, the sonic park designed in the former quarry between via Quarenghi and via Castellanza in Municipio 8, stems from the desire to turn Elisa's San Siro concert into a permanent environmental and cultural legacy. The project involves a municipal area of about 40,000 square meters, marked by extractive activity and soil contamination. Fondazione Lotus ETS, created and presided over by Elisa, will work alongside Youth & Future – Parola ai Giovani APS, an organization founded by Giovanni Caccamo. The alliance, announced on the stage of the Teatro Romano in Verona, connects music, phytoremediation, and social participation.
