Labirinto della Masone
Labirinto della Masone, Art museum in Fontanellato, Italy
Labirinto della Masone is an art museum and botanical garden in Fontanellato featuring towering bamboo walls arranged in a large maze pattern. At its core stands a pyramid-shaped chapel with exhibition halls surrounding it to showcase art from different periods.
The project grew from conversations between collector Franco Maria Ricci and Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges who shared a fascination with mazes. When opened in 2015, it realized their shared vision in a new cultural space in the Emilia-Romagna region.
The labyrinth is named after the original estate and the family who once owned the land. Today, visitors experience it as a place where art collecting and nature merge into a single creative vision.
The site is wheelchair accessible and open on most days of the week. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and bring water during warm weather, as much of the walk takes place outdoors along open paths.
The collection includes rare printed works and typographic designs that often go unnoticed by visitors, revealing how deeply Ricci pursued the art of book design. These pieces tell their own story about craft and artistic vision without seeking attention.
