On Saturday, March 2nd, was opened the permanent exhibition “Scultori a Villa Recalcati” (Sculptors at Villa Recalcati) inside the park and the halls of Villa Recalcati, seat of the Province of Varese.
The exhibition involves 15 contemporary sculptors linked to the city of Varese by birth or training. In the park you will find the sculptures of Maria Cristina Carlini, Nino Cassani, Pietro Coletta, Adam Farkas, Victor and Alberto Ghinzani, Emilio Greek, Renato Marino Mazzacurati, Vincent Pirruccio, Vittorio Tavernari and Carlo Zauli, while in the inner rooms there are the works of Floriano Bodini, Alex Horn and Angelo Frattini.
Maria Cristina Carlini, the only female, also exhibits the intriguing Bosco in ferro (Iron wood), four meters high and consisting of 19 trees, that perfectly fit with the surrounding environment.
Over the past three years some of these artists took part to the event “Scultori a Villa Recalcati” (Sculptors at Villa Recalcati), created and designed by the Province of Varese and edited by Flaminio Gualdoni, in a series of exhibitions at Villa Recalcati.
The aim of the long series of exhibitions has been the creation of a permanent collection of some of the works of the sculptors mentioned above, which are now on show in this stiking location.
The historical park, very popular with tourists and citizens, is always open to the public. The exhibition is also intended to offer further works in the near future.
