Rossini Art Site
Rossini Art Site is a unique place that hosts one of the most important Contemporary Art collections in the open air in Italy. Nestled in the green area to the north of Milan, this sculpture park aims to merge art and nature, culture and delight.
With an exhibition area of more than 120 acres, Rossini Art Site is a real journey into the history of post-war sculpture and an exploration of the many forms and features that national and international Abstract Sculpture has undertaken throughout the last decades. The collection's core consists of works by Italian masters such as Turcato, Cascella, Consagra, Melotti, Munari, Pomodoro and Varisco. In the same spirit and with aesthetic coherence, the work by such international artists as Arman, Cesar, Dietman, Nagasawa, Oppenheim, Spoerri, Tinguely, is also part of the collection.
Many of the exhibits are site specific projects and have been commissioned by Rossini to the artists with whom, over the years, he not only established professional collaborations but also sincere and mutual friendships.
Pursuing the desire to integrate art, environment and architecture in a single concept, the Rossini family commissioned to SITE studio and to New Yorker architect James Wines the design for the park entrance pavilion. Leading figure in the field of environmental design and organic architecture, Wines gave life to a building that resonates with the surroundings and becomes one with the landscape. Moreover, the pavilion rests on top of a hill and offers the most incredible and mutable views of the surrounding nature and the Alps.
Designed in accordance with its founder's love for both art and nature, Rossini Art Site seeks to provide a flexible and enjoyable space and welcomes families and kids. RAS offers a wide events programme that ranges from guided tours and live performances to family workshops and entertainment.
