21th february At the edge of reality – Villa Bossi

The 21th February in Varese: breathe again the breath of history at Villa Bossi

villabossiIt’s like if Villa Bossi would be waiting for you. There goes toe-to-toe as in other historic homes, but with the slow and sure, you feel almost at home. Only your breath linger, in order not to disperse the scent of old wood and stone, in an attempt to restrain itself the image of the garden, the row of poplars by the window glass, light on the gallery. Villa Bossi oozes history, care, elegance and refined simplicity. To accommodate this Mansion is like indulging in the arms of your mother, which in its most hidden recesses preserves a place for you too. Has vibrating deep cavities, such as the ancient wine cellar, which whispers love sounds even without orchestra. There are so many rooms by opening in the soul on invisible worlds, in perspectives that lead the eye away, without any anxiety along the lines of flight. It is easy to think that the people who live there are made of the same beauty. (taken from the site of Villa Bossi)

Two-hour guided tour of the home, between laboratories, collections of historical instruments, the magnificent cellar with its precious frescoes. The true spirit of the story narrated by its protagonist, an appointment that you can’t miss to … At the end of the visit a light fragrant dinner to round off the evening.

The photo exhibition “America” by Wim Wenders in Villa Panza

Villa Panza opens the doors to the artist Wim Wenders and his “dialogue with America”

Wim-Wenders-per-Villa-Panza.-America-620x770

From 16th January to 29th March Villa Panza an its Art Collection hosts a photographic exhibition of Wim Wenders, the 34 photographs taken by the German Director in the United States between the late 1970s and 2003.

The pictures were held inside the Villa according to a route that communicates with the context and the Panza Collection. The exhibition, dedicated to his friend Dennis Hopper and to the artistic inspiration Edward Hopper, is a highly personal Wenders’ reading of America in those years.

“The scenery give shape to our lives, shape our character, define our human condition and if you’re careful increase your feelings towards them, discover that they have stories to tell and that are much more than mere places.”

In these words Wim Wenders expresses perfectly and succinctly around the meaning of the exhibition: in these 34 shots he managed to play visions that have disrupted the normal perception of the landscape, bringing out the essence of the portraits and the literary and narrative function of the image.
