A dimension that wants to appeal to the soul of its visitors. We have transformed such a large park into the first public sculpture garden in Italy. For this reason, close relationships have been established with some Italian excellences: the Society for Fine Arts and Permanent Exhibition, the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, Studio Copernico and the Friends of the Brera Academy. The contribution of the Banca del Monte di Lombardia Foundation before and now of the Cariplo Foundation was also fundamental, which strongly believed in the project, guaranteeing its implementation and enhancement. The Idroscalo wants to be attractive to artists, at the service of culture and citizens, to stimulate art and facilitate its appreciation. The naturalistic space next to the city constitutes an added value in itself: it is a stage which, due to its characteristics and dimensions, can offer uniqueness of suggestions, create exclusive elements for those who want to make art and for those who let themselves be intrigued by it.Art enters into a respectful dialogue with nature, expressing the human impacton the environment, reflects the naturalistic context in which it is inserted. The Idroscalo invites you towalking in nature to discover the art that is integrated with it.
