Il logo dell'U.B.I.The U.B.I. , Unione Bonsaisti Italiani, represents the italian bonsai movement in the world. Over 2000 members , 77 supporting Clubs, have allowed to the  UBI to be the first Association of Bonsai Lovers in Europe Founded in Imola in the 1995 , the UBI was born on enterprise of the persons in charge of the three previous National Associations gathered together in a sole Association, with the aim to let the Italian Bonsai proceed with greater strength.La copertina del Notiziario UBI
The first Newsletter number came out in the 1996, a publication created with the purpose to establish a direct communication with own members , free of any editorial dependence.
The UBI Newsletter does not only pass news to own members , but aspires on winning ideas and on articles based on the experiences of Italian Bonsai Lovers on autochthonous plants.
It was the Newsletter to open the way to the  UBI Catalogue of Best Bonsai and Suiseki. On the No.3 in March 1997 it was advertised with greatest relief the First UBI National Congress, which was held in Imola on May 16th-17th-18th 1997 and the 1st  UBI CATALOGUE OF BEST BONSAI & SUISEKI, a publication of great prestige distributed freely among members and mailed to the highest world authorities of Bonsai and Suiseki.
The 2006 Catalogue will be a special edition of the Decennial.
The Catalogue and the Newsletter will be our historical memory in the years to come, testifying all the passion which the Italian Bonsai Lovers devote to the noble Japanese art.
