Labirinto della Masone

The Labirinto della Masone spans across 17 acres featuring over 300,000 bamboo plants forming an intricate maze with paths reaching heights between 3 and 15 meters.

In 2015, publisher and art collector Franco Maria Ricci opened this cultural center after developing the concept through conversations with writer Jorge Luis Borges in the 1980s.

The museum houses a collection of 500 artworks spanning from the 16th to 20th centuries, including significant pieces like Francesco Hayez's Portrait of a Woman.

The facility maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its premises and remains open every day except Tuesdays and major holidays like December 25 and January 1.

At the center of the eight-pointed star-shaped labyrinth stands a pyramid-shaped chapel, surrounded by arcades and exhibition halls displaying Ricci's typography collection.
