To understand how matter becomes art and poetry.
ArTours. Villa Reale, Monza
A sumptuously decorated neoclassical palace of nearly seven hundred rooms. With its secular trees, the palace is set in the largest enclosed park in Europe.
The history of this palace is intertwined with the turbulent Italian history of the last two hundred years. After the murder of King Umberto I in the avenue facing Villa Reale, his son, King Vittorio Emanuele III, did not want to use it anymore. He closed it and moved most of the furniture to the Quirinale in Rome. Today it is an oasis of peace on the outskirts of Milan, ready to welcome art and nature lovers.
ArTours. The Meštrović Atelier, Zagreb
Ivan Meštrović is the most famous Croatian artist in the world. Meštrović created his studio in the upper part of Zagreb, in a building dating back to 1600. He lived and worked there for twenty years, from 1922 to 1942.
The artist donated the building to Croatia, together with 300 sculptures in marble, bronze, wood and plaster and drawings, lithographs and furniture designed by him. Today, the Atelier also houses rich photographic documentation and the artist’s private archive, as well as the works of other artists.
ArTours. Dan Graham, environmental sculpture, Lofoten islands
Dan Graham’s glass sculpture is located next to the main road that crosses the Lofoten archipelago.
With its transparent and mirrored walls, its presence is magnetic. From a distance, more than its material structure, we are struck by the movement that animates its surface, capable of capturing the light and the image of the surrounding landscape. Approaching it, you can enjoy an extraordinarily immersive experience.
ArTours. Vittoriale degli Italiani
The Vittoriale, the home of poet Gabriele d’Annunzio, is a museum consacrated to beauty. With buildings, streets and squares, an open-air theatre, gardens and waterways, it is located in Gardone Riviera on Lake Garda. It stands in memory of the poet-soldier and the exploits of the Italians during the First World War.
Each room is a Wunderkammer, crammed with symbolic objects. In the park, a plane, a military ship and an MAS 96, an Anti-Submarine Motorboat renamed by d’Annunzio Memento Audere Semper: remember to dare always.
