Once again, this year, Mantero reaffirmed its role as the primary supporter and main sponsor of Orticolario, the annual meeting for nature lovers in a fusion of nursery, art, design, and landscape culture.
Mantero 1902 attended Orticolario with a classic glasshouse near the large plane tree, where collections and products designed ad hoc were showcased, offering visitors the opportunity to purchase exclusive products with unique prints.
Seed of Life: sharing experiences with others, in harmony with nature. Handcrafted products designed for the conviviality of an outdoor picnic. Sustainability, tradition, and social commitment.
On the occasion of Orticolario, Mantero 1902 presented Seed of Life, its second capsule collection developed in collaboration with San Patrignano. Located in the province of Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, San Patrignano was founded in 1978 and is the largest recovery center in Europe for young people dealing with addiction issues. Currently, the community provides free accommodation for over 800 people. San Patrignano adopts a unique approach that combines recovery programs, training, and social reintegration. Participants become essential contributors to activities such as agriculture, craftsmanship, and cooking, thus supporting their personal recovery and the sustainability of the community.

Seed of Life is inspired by the atmosphere of an outdoor gathering that celebrates the joy of sharing experiences immersed in nature and in harmony with the environment. The collection features handcrafted linen and cotton products, enhanced by the iconic Archivio n. 55 "La Campagna" print, created in collaboration with the young members of the community. This project not only provides participants with training opportunities in the textile creative process but also endows the collection with deep social value, reflecting the company's commitment to ethical and responsible production.

Celebrating the theme "Terrae", Orticolario honors the earth’s cycles, memory, and fertility—a tribute to the origin of everything and a journey into the world of phytoremediation plants, which quietly help restore water and soil polluted by humans. This event aims to deepen our understanding of the regenerative power of plants and their essential role in preserving the environment, supporting humanity, and restoring nature’s balance, often disrupted by our actions. At the heart of this focus is Mantero's commitment to ethical and sustainable production, embodied in the company’s Mantero RESPECT philosophy. In 2023, significant strides were made in reducing Scope 2 emissions and water consumption, alongside strengthening supply chain management and promoting a circular economy.
