Giardino dei Giusti di tutto il mondo, Memorial garden in Monte Stella park, Milan, Italy.
Description
The Garden of the Righteous of the Whole World is a memorial garden within Monte Stella park, designed with granite monuments and cherry trees to honor individuals who resisted persecution and injustice. The space features the Avenue of the Good and the Tree of Remembrance, where each recognized person has both a stone marker and a living tree.
History
The garden was established in 2003 on a site cleared of World War II rubble, transforming a place marked by destruction into a memorial for moral courage. This conversion from devastation to remembrance represents a significant shift in how the city chose to use this urban space.
Culture
The site hosts annual gatherings on March 6, recognized as the Day of the Righteous, where students, officials, and residents come together to honor newly recognized individuals. It serves as a gathering place where people pause to remember those who chose to stand against injustice.
Practical
The garden features pathways connecting all monuments and trees, designed to be accessible for visitors of different mobility levels. An audio guide with images and narratives helps visitors understand the stories behind each dedication.
