Students in Professor Andrea Innamorati’s Sustainable Environments course braved Rome’s heatwave to visit the Museo Orto Botanico di Roma and learn about the city’s ongoing efforts to preserve biodiversity.
Home to more than 3,000 plant species, a Japanese garden, a vineyard, bamboo groves, and historic greenhouses, the botanical garden offered students a unique opportunity to explore the connection between sustainability, conservation, and urban life.
Through this immersive experience, students reflected on the importance of protecting green spaces in one of the world’s most historic cities and gained a deeper understanding of how environmental stewardship shapes the future of urban communities.
