Opening of the new exhibition area and photographic exhibition “Interiors Outside”

Sunday 10th of March 2024

Opening of the new exhibition area and photographic exhibition “Interiors Outside” by Fabio Giamello

2024 marks 20 years since the opening of the Chianti Sculpture Park. It will be a year full of new activities, exhibitions and special events to celebrate this important milestone! We look forward to seeing you from Sunday 10 March 2024 from 11 am to discover a brand new exhibition area and the photographic exhibition “Interiors Outside” by Fabio Giamello.

Unfortunately, the official inauguration and meeting with the artist-photographer Fabio Giamello that we had planned has been postponed due to the very uncertain weather forecast. We will update you very soon on the new date! In the meantime, we are open every day from 10am to 5pm. Last entry at 4pm.

Interiors Outside was born with the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life through photography. Each photo represents the absence of man, the passage of time, and nature’s re-appropriation of these places. Nature thus reshapes and sculpts these places eventually destroying them. Like an archaeologist unearthing precious artefacts so, with my photographs, I document the testimony and history of what has been. There are more or less important stories in these spaces, from a writer to a Pope to a simple farmer, but I remind you that history is made by people and their lives.

This project aims to chronicle and protect abandoned and disused places where all evidence of what they once were is slowly being lost.

We are waiting for you to discover together a new secret corner of our art forest and celebrate the first 20 years of the Park!

The photographic exhibition “Interiors outside” will be open until Sunday 7 April 2024.
