Parco Enzo Pazzagli, Modern art museum and park in southern Florence, Italy
Parco Enzo Pazzagli is a garden of 23,900 m² in the Rovezzano area of Florence, set between the Arno River and the direct railway line to Rome. Its lawn holds more than two hundred sculptures and installations by Enzo Pazzagli, lit at night, plus works by Marcello Guasti and Sauro Cavallini.
Enzo Pazzagli first set up a permanent display of his sculptures in his private garden in Settignano in 1990. In 2001 he obtained a 23,900 m² plot between the Arno and the Rome railway, and over three and a half years turned the uncultivated field into a park with more than two hundred works. After his death the EcoRinascimento association took over its management.
The park displays works by multiple artists, with Sauro Cavallini's installations set among cypress trees. The collection shows how contemporary art and nature work together in this space.
The park lies on Via Sant'Andrea a Rovezzano 5, in the strip between the Arno and the direct railway line to Rome. From Rovezzano station it is about a ten-minute walk; buses and taxis also serve the area. The sculptures are lit at night, so they remain visible from passing trains and cars.
From above, 300 cypress trees form a human face with two profiles visible in the landscape. This artistic installation surprises many visitors who do not notice it while walking on the ground.
