The day will be divided into different moments, designed to offer an engaging and immersive experience. During the morning, in fact, participants will have the opportunity to explore the world of bees through three stations: an educational session, honey extraction and a tasting, with the possibility of creating candles together with the children.
Instead, the courtyard of the farmhouse will host the convivial lunch: from traditional Bolognese specialties to delicious dishes, the menu will surprise with a variety of local specialties, and everyone will be able to share moments of relaxation and leisure.

Located in the heart of the lush nature of the Chiusa Park in Casalecchio di Reno, the farmhouse offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Its privileged position, a short distance from the city, allows you to explore the wonders of the Bolognese countryside in a relaxed and contemplative way.
Crossed by renowned trekking and cycling routes of the Bolognese Apennines, such as the Via della Lana e della Seta, the Via degli Dei and the Ciclovia del Sole – EuroVelo 7, the Park invites you to completely immerse yourself in nature.
Each guest has the opportunity to live an authentic experience by participating in the company’s agricultural activities, enjoying the local cuisine and relaxing in a comfortable and familiar environment.

The Agriturismo Parco della Chiusa is an Educational Farm that offers workshops and activities focused on environmental and social sustainability, organic agriculture, bees and pollinators, and the plants and animals of the Park.
Very committed to education and awareness, the Agriturismo is not only a place for relaxation, but also a space for learning and sharing knowledge.
Ecocap’s offers the market its TopSyl patent, the innovative seal placed on the opening of cans.
TopSyl maintains its cutting-edge protection function, guaranteeing maximum hygiene for the packaging and further integrity of the contents of the cans.
But TopSyl is much more than a simple safety device: it is synonymous with quality and reliability, practicality and effective communication.
With TopSyl, Ecocap’s close synergy with the leading industries in the beverage market, anticipating and responding to their needs and those of the consumer.
TopSyl is a winning solution, also by virtue of its composition: the caps are made with 100% eco-friendly and renewable materials. A revolutionary patent that fits perfectly into the company’s vision of the future, where innovation meets environmental responsibility.
Not only that, TopSyl also has the advantage of being an excellent marketing tool, an opportunity to give new visibility to the brand or specific initiatives to promote with originality.
Responding to consumers’ growing environmental concerns, canned water is gaining traction in supermarkets as an alternative to plastic
Initially used as a reserve during the Second World War, canned water is developing its own market, challenging plastic, traditionally a leader in the sector.
This is a change fueled by growing environmental awareness and increasingly stringent regulation. In fact, thanks to the increase in bans on the use of single-use plastic, companies are exploring valid alternatives.
Aluminium cans are considered a more sustainable packaging choice, with a high recyclability rate.
Investments in this direction are growing, with companies and brands working and committed to environmental protection and sustainability. This growing trend sees a great variety of formulations and flavorings appearing on the market.
Some brands, such as Open Water and Liquid Death, place environmental sustainability at the centre of their corporate identity, while large companies such as PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Co. are entering the canned water market.
However, there are challenges to overcome, such as higher cost and less convenience compared to conventional plastic bottles.
In the US, the government initially introduced canned water for emergency use; now the market is expanding with the entry of brands like Dash, which are making investments.
The trend is similar in England: canned water is gaining popularity, with brands such as Cano Water and Highland Spring Group offering flavored and sparkling products to meet consumer preferences.
Canned water is also capturing the interest of consumers and investors in Germany. With the increase in bans on single-use plastics and the demand for more sustainable solutions, brands like Mananalu are making their way. Additionally, active partnerships with organizations like rePurpose Global demonstrate a collegial commitment to protecting the environment.
In all three countries, canned water is a tangible response to the need to reduce high-impact single-use plastic bottles and the growing interest in this sector is set to grow.
Even in Italy in recent years, canned mineral water has begun to make space on the shelves, although at the moment it still represents a small niche.
In the past they have introduced San Benedetto canned water (both in 33 cl single-dose format and in natural and carbonated versions) and Spumador Refresco (Eco Recoaro water in 33 cl cans, still and carbonated).
San Benedetto water cans have also successfully made themselves known in the USA.
Thanks to the TopSyl patent, the aluminium protection system proposed by the Ecocap’s company, canned water is even more trendy.
In addition to being an ecological, safe and hygienic system, TopSyl allows countless customizations, transforming the can into an extraordinary marketing and communication tool.
During his recent trip to Australia, on the occasion of Appex – Australasia’s Processing & Packaging Expo where Ecocap’s was present with a booth, Jacopo Cassoli, general manager of the company, had the opportunity to delve into the emerging trends in the beverage sector.
Appex, held in Melbourne from 12 to 15 March, is a highly attractive trade fair, specialized in processing and packaging services, with hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of professionals and operators involved.
Among the evidence emerging at a global level, there is the growing attention to customer engagement: “The personalization of the customer experience is gaining relevance and, more and more often, companies are looking for innovative solutions to capture and satisfy this need”, comments Jacopo Cassoli.
In this process, Ecocap’s machinery and the TopSyl patent are strategic tools for the beverage sector: “The results obtained by our partners demonstrate how TopSyl caps offer effective connection and communication opportunities towards their end customers. The versatility and ease of TopSyl customization make it a unique product compared to other packaging solutions on the market. The TopSyl cap allows to collect useful information on consumer preferences, to improve their engagement and to offer personalized and unprecedented experiences each time,” explains Jacopo Cassoli.
Adaptability and flexibility are some of the characteristics that make TopSyl a quality plus.
“It is possible to apply thousands of different graphics in the same production batch, significantly reducing customization costs” specifies Cassoli.
“TopSyl, in addition to guaranteeing hygiene and food safety on all types of cans, responds effectively to global trends in the beverage sector, adapting perfectly to the broadest marketing and market needs, but also to every single internal specificity”.
“Even in the beverage sector, customer engagement together with the collection and analysis of data will become increasingly central and in this scenario companies that are able to offer personalized experiences and build strong relationships with their consumers, through the adoption of innovative solutions, they will have a significant competitive advantage.”
TopSyl is already an excellent response to this challenge.
The professionals of CPS Company, Ecocap’s and Nema Automazione have chosen to rely on the ANT Italia ONLUS Foundation for their chocolate Easter eggs and colombe.
Through a dedicated purchasing group, the Cassoli Group staff was able to contribute to supporting the cause of the Foundation which for years has been dealing with oncology prevention and free specialist home care for cancer patients.
Acqua S. Bernardo, with cans protected by TopSyl, hydrates Bologna FC 1909 in the current and in the 2024-25 season. This collaboration highlights the Club’s commitment to providing its athletes and supporters with the best services and products, while underlining Acqua S. Bernardo’s attention to the environment and hygiene.
It is an important partnership that also involves Ecocap’s since S. Bernardo, a company under the control of the Montecristo Group and active in the mineral water and soft drink markets, has adopted the innovative eco-sustainable capsules TopSyl, an international patent by Ecocap’s.
At the basis of this choice is the desire to guarantee the hygiene of the can packaging and to stand out at a marketing level, exploiting all the elements of the can as a communication tool. TopSyl, the sealing system proposed by Ecocap’s, has proven to be the ideal choice to achieve these objectives.
A further advantage of the TopSyl system is its sustainability; TopSyl is in fact a heat-sealed aluminium disk which, not requiring the use of glue, is totally recyclable: a safe, hygienic and 100% eco-friendly solution!
Acqua S. Bernardo is a historic brand, known not only for the quality and purity of its mineral water, but also for its constant commitment to environmental sustainability.
The company has adopted important measures to reduce its environmental impact, limiting the use of plastic and investing in green technologies and practices, such as the adoption of TopSyl.
Bernardo water is available not only for the first team, but also for the youth sector and the women’s team. Furthermore, it is present in the hospitality areas of the Renato Dall’Ara stadium.
A commitment to quality, sustainability and attention to hygiene that S. Bernardo, together with TopSyl, makes available to the entire large “rossoblù family”.
There are 3 events involving Ecocap’s and TopSyl.
Ecocap’s presents itself on both sides of the globe to highlight the TopSyl patent, the aluminium capsule used to seal cans.
Increasingly appreciated and requested around the world, TopSyl is an innovative system that protects the opening of cans, guarantees hygiene and safety and transforms itself into an effective and powerful marketing tool for companies.
Today all the women of the Cassoli Group have chosen to celebrate Women’s Day with a lunch.
