Public Opening 15/09
Villa Arconati-FAR is open to the public every Sunday from 11am to 7pm
There is a magical place just outside Milan where summer never ends: the "small Lombard Versailles" is a unique place, immersed in the greenery of the Parco delle Groane, where time has stopped at the glories of the eighteenth century! A place to live in so many different ways..
From 11.00 to 19.00 every Sunday you come to spend a day between Nature, Culture, Art and Taste, you will find:
- Sunday 15 Villa Arconati-FAR in GRIGIOVERDE: an appointment with the story realized in collaboration with the re-enactors of the Compagnia De Cristoforis. >>Read More
- Leonardo at Villa Arconati-FAR: on the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci, the Augusto Rancilio Foundation hosts two exhibitions dedicated to the Tuscan genius and many events to celebrate it. Leonardo and the Arconates have, in fact, a common history that has lasted for over 400 years and is hidden within the walls of the Villa. Exhibitions and meetings with the culture of our time, shows, events and educational activities will allow us to understand the figure of Leonardo in an unrepeatable context, which will be an opportunity to discover an almost forgotten history. >>Read More
- Contemporary art exhibitions: in line with the Espace Kiron tradition, Augusto Rancilio Foundation gives space to the works of a young artist Alessandro Gioiello and to two more mature artists Valdi Spagnulo and Mario Raciti. Alessandro Gioiello proposes a reflection on ancient art through the collage technique while Valdi Spagnulo and Mario Raciti conquer for them light art through the leaning of the graphic sign. >>Read More
- The exhibition of the works of Kiron Espace also continues in 2019: six rooms on the main floor take on new life thanks to the work of six of the most representative exponents of the rich collection of contemporary art in the Parisian gallery. To these six rooms is added one with a protagonist of absolute exception: Egidio Costantini, the "master of glass" who collaborated among others with Oskar Kokoschka, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Jean Arp, Max Ernest and Peggy Guggenheim. The Augusto Rancilio Foundation is therefore confirmed as a reference point for the enhancement of Italian contemporary art. >>Read More
