The Fisherman's Basket in Memory of Saint Peter

A team of professional gardeners combines its expertise each year to create a tribute to the Prince of the Apostles: the renowned Fisherman's Basket (Nassa del Pescatore). This metal structure reproduces an ancient woven fishing trap consisting of a funnel and a net that catches fish attracted by bait placed inside. It recalls the fish traps that fishermen on the Sea of Galilee would leave submerged overnight and retrieve the following morning.
