The Banca Ifis International Sculpture Park is housed within the more than 22 hectares of gardens surrounding the 16th-century Villa Fürstenberg, the Group’s historic headquarters.
In this space, the often monumental works of great Italian and international masters of contemporary sculpture merge with their surroundings, creating a special place where nature and sculpture dialogue in a timeless embrace.
“
The park is articulated as a work in progress and will see new sculptures by international contemporary artists added each year. This project intends to project itself towards a future that focuses more and more on the Economy of Beauty, understood as a code of values such as tradition, innovation, know-how and imagination.
Walk among the sculptures, listen to the landscape and observe the materials in dialogue with nature.
Free admission
The park is open from April to November, every Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM (last entry at 5:00 PM) and some Saturday evenings during the summer from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM (last entry at 9:00 PM)
