Bevi e Lascia Bere

27 june 2023 
Nasone at the corner Via XXI Aprile and Via Giacomo Boni (close to Piazza Bologna)

In the context of the exhibition Rome, a portrait. Festival of foreign Culture Academies and Institutes, Palazzo delle Esposizioni and Accademia Tedesca Roma Villa Massimo present Bevi e Lascia Bere.

 

The initiative Bevi e Lascia Bere aims to water young trees all around the city suffering from a lack of care and watering infrastructure, exacerbated by climate change-related drought. Given the size of this job, Atelier Lascia Vivere proposes to engage all inhabitants of Rome to solve this pressing issue and connect two existing elements, withering trees and bristling Nasone, by simply giving a small portion of water to a tree whenever drinking from a fountain themselves. The Aperitivo Bevi e Lascia Bere is another step towards the establishment of this meaningful habit. 

 

We are serving drinks, please bring your own glass

 

Have a drink at the Nasone and water thirsty trees!
 
Here is how it’s done: Meet your friends at a Nasone for a drink. Bring beverages, glasses, and containers for watering. While chatting and drinking, place a container below the Nasone, so it fills up with water. Once a container is full, one of you takes it to a nearby tree to water it. Take turns and repeat until eventually all trees are watered and everybody is drunk. Have at leats one glass of water from the Nasone after each drink in order to avoid a hangover.
