Chianti Sculpture Park
Chianti Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden in Pievasciata, Italy.
Description
Chianti Sculpture Park is an art park set in woodland in Tuscany, displaying contemporary sculptures by international artists. The grounds feature mature oak forest crisscrossed with paths where artworks in various materials are distributed throughout.
History
The park opened in 2004 after a five-year transformation of untouched forest into an exhibition space by founders Piero and Rosalba Giadrossi. What began as a private initiative grew into a permanent collection of works by artists worldwide.
Culture
Artists from around the world have placed their works directly within the landscape, allowing visitors to see how contemporary art objects share space with the trees and forest paths. Each piece feels embedded in its natural surroundings rather than placed on top of them.
Practical
The grounds have a wheelchair-accessible path that lets you move around easily and view the works clearly. Guided tours on site help you understand the art installations and their relationship to the forest.
Did you know?
The grounds include an amphitheater where concerts take place during summer months, ranging from classical music to jazz and tango. These events blend art exhibition with live music in unusual forest settings.
