Villa Celle in Pistoia
Do you love contemporary art? During your holidays in Tuscany in one of our villas in Lucca, Pistoia, Prato or Florence you can go to visit Villa Celle in Santomato in the province of Pistoia.
Villa Celle is characterized by its park museum of contemporary art with works by Italian and international artists. In the fifteenth century the villa belonged to the family Pazzaglia, but it was the next family, the family Fabbroni, to renovate the villa and the park. In the park there is a lake and a waterfall. Also you can see a building in neo-Gothic style, called the Temple of the source. Also very interesting is the building in Egyptian style.
Giuliano Gori, an important entrepreneur from Prato, a contemporary art lover, decided to create a museum of contemporary art outdoors in the park of Villa Celle. His idea was to create an artistic journey in which the works are in harmony with nature, not overwhelming and in complete respect of it. And so in 1982 he inaugurated the first exhibition of contemporary art in the park, prompting an immediate positive response from Italian and international critics.
Among the artists, we mention Aycock, Morris, Karavan, Oppenheim, Trakras, Staccioli, Poirier, Ruckriem, Burri. The works are immersed in the green of the park, near the villa and into the farm. The long avenue was designed by Ximenes and the romantic park from the nineteenth century by John Gambino. In romantic style, the aviary and the neo-Gothic pavilion. Many references to Egyptian culture with a pyramid and a neo-Egyptian monument. Also very nice games with waterfalls, fountains and pools.
Marvel at how art and nature can coexist and enrich each other!
