Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo opens its Art Park in the hills of Roero

Fondazione Sandretto Re Re baudengo has opened a new contemporary art park: it is the Sandretto Re Re Rebaudengo Art Park, located on the Hill of San Licerio in Guarene (Cuneo), in the Roero hills. The park, with free admission, houses the Foundation’s open-air installations, was designed by landscape architects Lorenzo Rebediani and Vera Scaccabarozzi and is inspired by the mosaic of fields, hazel groves, parks and vineyards that surround it. The installations are created by artists recognized on the Italian and international scene: the sculpture by Paul Kneale (presented in 2019) is now joined by installations by Ludovica Carbotta, Carsten Höller, Wilhelm Mundt, Manuele Cerutti and Mark Handforth, while in October the Foundation will present a new site-specific intervention by Marguerite Humeau.

The Park aims to be “a point of encounter, balance and dialogue between nature and the works of contemporary artists from all over the world, installed next to the rows of a Nebbiolo vineyard, among the willows, cypresses and oaks,” the Foundation says. It can be visited by following a walkway traced to offer a variety of walkways and views of the works and nature. Some of the installations were commissioned by the Foundation specifically for the Park, while others have found a new and harmonious home here. The Park is an open-air museum, guided by the principle of full accessibility for all and everyone.

Special attention is paid to sustainability: in fact, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo has always been committed to environmental protection, including through its well-established partnership with Asja Ambiente, an international group that has been producing renewable energy for more than 25 years. In particular, Asja, with its CO2 reduction platform, dedicated to offsetting CO2 emissions, has planted more than 2,500 trees in the Park. These plants help to consolidate the soil, secure the exhibition routes, and over the next twenty years will sequester about 200 tons of CO2 in the air.

For all information, you can visit the Park’s website.
