Art and nature in the oak forest
The park was founded in 2004 by Rosalba and Piero Giadrossi. Their idea was to integrate contemporary art from around the world into nature in such a way that the artwork and the landscape form a unified whole. Each artist chose their own spot in the forest and created a site-specific work. The sculptures and installations are made from a wide variety of materials and their appearance changes with the light and the seasons.
Amphitheater and La Fornace Gallery
The park includes an amphitheater where concerts and other events take place, as well as the La Fornace Gallery with rotating exhibitions. Current dates can be found on the official website parcosculturechianti.it.
