DESCRIZIONE:
In an impressive 18th century villa on the hills of Varese, Count Giuseppe Panza di Biumo collected hundreds of master pieces of contemporary American art over a period of 40 years which are now housed in first class museums such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. Donated to FAI in 1996 by Count Panza and his wife, the villa holds the only part of their impressive collection that is still in Italy today. Many works that were made specifically for rooms of the villa in the 70s (such as Dan Flavin's permanent site specific installation Varese Corridor), priceless pieces of Italian Renaissance furniture and a collection of tribal art are also on view in the villa. The Italian-Style superb garden offers a spectacular viewpoint from which visitors can enjoy the panorama of the Italian Alps.
