Art Expo
In the cooperage, the last room carved into the tuff cellar, we’ve set up “THE SECOND SKY”, a scenic space where we host artists who wish to exhibit their works. If you would like to take part, you can contact us through the dedicated page. Here we permanently showcase selected works by artists who have chosen Sorano and the Maremma as their muse and home. Among them, the original label by JOSEPH BEUYS (Free International University – IN DEFENSE OF NATURE), gifted to us by our friend Marcello Zaccagnini (winemaker from Abruzzo), a passionate art collector and owner of a winery in Bolognano (PE), where the German artist was the protagonist of several happenings in the 1980s on the themes of environment, wine, and mankind.
