YT The 36th edition of the 'ArcoBonsai' event. Despite the dreary weather, with some occasional rain, the Arco bonsai show and Trophy was a great success for the 36th time. The event again took place in May showing that all things are almost back to normal, after the previous edition took place unusually in September, due to Covid. The main bonsai show was traditionally held in the ballroom of the old Casino in the historical town of Arco (Italy) — a haven for mountaineers.
