On the plain below the lovely Umbrian hill town of Spello, this former silkworm factory is now the headquarters of the Editoriale Campi publishing house. Campi’s Almanacco di Barbanera (www.barbanera.it) – an annual handbook, originally for farmers but nowadays a fount of folk-wisdom for all – celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2012. To mark the anniversary, a garden reflecting the simple, productive spirit of Barbanera was created.
