Museum
The exhibition space
in a House overlooking Lake Como, a small Museum has come into being.
Like a treasure chest, it safeguards a collection of more than a hundred sculptures and drawings: a compendium of the “Opera Unica” (All One Artwork) beginning from the Sixties.
During the day, the lights and colors of the lake enter in communion with the luminous colors of the sculptures.
In the evening, luminescent sceneries spurt like star dust from the walls, the ceiling, and rise up from the floor.
We await your visit so that we can bathe you in this experience of lights, transparencies and colors.
“I’ve worked for over thirty years here without ever developing, in a concrete manner, the idea of an exhibition space.
The scenery transformed based on the piece I was working on in that moment.
This most certainly had an allure that we will try to preserve now that we are preparing a space for you that… lights up little by little.”
