And so also this year the Toshoo En, in cooperation with the Municipality of Poppi, has organized the third edition of the Town of Poppi Trophy for Bonsai and Suiseki lovers.
Weather conditions on Saturday were not fair but on Sunday improved and the event obtained the deserved success. The exhibition arranged among the merlons of the castle always evokes a warm and suggestive aura.
The participation of Suiseki lovers is increasing every year as well as the level of the suiseki exhibited, this as evidence of the interest that the event is sparking and not only in the ambit of Tuscany.
At the event's conclusion, in a fair and relaxed atmosphere, arrived the awards which, as by promise made by organizers for the suiseki contest have been increased from 2 to 5.
In facts 2 first Best Suiseki Awards, 3 mentions of merit have been granted and not least the I.B.S. Award :
