Parco Sculture del Chianti

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:55:56

More than 25 site-specific contemporary artworks are tucked into this 13-acre wood, meaning you’ll encounter abstract humans, cube clusters and multicoloured cows amid the foliage. Between June and August weekly sunset Jazz and Opera concerts are staged in the park’s white Carrara marble and black Zimbabwean granite amphitheatre. Look out for Hitchcock, Fellini and Charlie Chaplin amid the ‘spectators’.

The park is 16km south of Radda. While here, detour to the nearby village of Pievasciata , whose streets are home to an ever-growing number of site-specific contemporary international artworks (check to see if Yu Zhaoyang's hilarious Town Ostriches are still next to the cypress trees).
