Villa Lontana
V
Villa Lontana is a project that explores the connections between ancient and contemporary practices, curated by Vittoria Bonifati and initiated in 2018 in collaboration with Jo Melvin.
The first cycle of contemporary art exhibitions aims to create fluid platforms of encounter between the sculptures and artifacts of the Santarelli Collection and contemporary artistic practices.
Conceived as a dynamic archive, the collection serves as the starting point for Villa Lontana’s curatorial program, which includes exhibitions, publications, artist editions, and sound projects.
