On the east coast of Sicily, the Serra-Congressi is located within an extensive area of land belonging to the Faro family (founders of the Radicepura Foundation), which contains period buildings from the 19^th century and a botanical garden, a centre of excellence for international floriculture in which a wide range of plants are studied and cultivated. The greenhouse itself, which has a BIPV roof, is home to Mediterranean and tropical plants and provides an elegant and sophisticated environment that is often used for events, as it has a capacity of almost one thousand people.
