Levi-Montalcini Foundation uses Pavlovnia for an eco-sustainable innovation centre

The Levi-Montalcini Foundation, dedicated to the study and exhibition of the works of Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi-Montalcini, has announced a major new project - the creation of a centre for innovation and eco-sustainability. This centre was created to combine scientific and artistic knowledge.

The project was designed by the famous Italian architect Giancarlo Zema, who is famous for his eco-sustainable projects. However, the most impressive feature of the project is the use of 500 Pavlovnia trees that will surround the centre.

Pavlovnia is a tree species known for its ability to absorb large amounts of CO2. These trees are capable of absorbing about ten times more CO2 than normal trees, or about 50 tonnes per year.

At the entrance to the centre, an interactive system will be installed that will display in real time the electrochemical processes taking place between the plants, as well as the amount of CO2 absorbed and oxygen released.

This unique use of Paulownia as part of the eco-sustainable centre concept highlights the importance of this tree species in the fight against climate change and provides another example of how they can be used to support a more sustainable future.
