The Biosfera is a striking glass sphere designed by Renzo Piano, floating on the water of Porto Antico. Inside this transparent bubble, a tropical ecosystem of over 150 species of plants, butterflies, iguanas, and birds recreates a fragment of equatorial rainforest in the heart of Genoa's harbour.
Designed by Renzo Piano and opened in 2001, the Biosfera was conceived as a living exhibit to complement the Aquarium. It demonstrates how a tropical ecosystem functions as an interconnected whole, raising awareness about rainforest conservation and biodiversity.
