The story

The Museo del Fiore is a small naturalistic, multimedial and interactive museum, located in Italy, in the woods of the Monte Rufeno natural reserve which is 10 km from Acquapendente (Viterbo) and 2 km from the characteristic medieval city of Torre Alfina. It is inside an old rural building, "Casale Giardino". With more than 1,000 species of known plants in its territories and rare animals, the Monte Rufeno natural reserve, at the border with Umbria and Tuscany, is an area with a large variety of plants and wildlife. The museum was created thanks to the many blooms of the reserve and the deep link that flowers and plants have within the local culture, which is expressed with the Pugnaloni of Acquapendente (a big mosaic composed with petals and leaves inspired by the dream of freedom from the oppression, made in honor of Our Lady of the Flower, which is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of May).
