As an official partner of Milan’s annual design expo, the Salone del Mobile, Ca’ del Bosco is delighted to bring its wine making excellence to an event that shares the company’s passion for style, innovation, artisanship and tradition. And most of all, a deep love of art. Ca’ del Bosco’s is a place where art and wine combine perfectly into an organic whole. Sculpture, in particular, is an art form that the company has championed and honored for many years by transforming the grounds of its estate into an exhibition space for the work of many world famous artists. The stunning countryside landscape is the perfect location to exhibit sculptural work which, it is Ca’ del Bosco’s belief, has so much in common with wine. Both are multi-dimensional artifacts that must be experienced through the simultaneous engagement of multiple senses. This is how in recent years Ca’ del Bosco has come to devote much attention to sculptors and their work, opening its home to everyone who shares a passion for both wine and art.
From Arnaldo Pomodoro and his Inno al sole which welcomes you to the estate, to artists such as Rabarama, Stefano Bombardieri and Rado Kirov, many are the names whose creations are collected here at Ca’ del Bosco. A special mention must be made of Eroe di Luce, a 1991 white Carrara marble sculpture created by Polish artist Igor Mitoraj, a dreamy and imposing vision of a human head fragment, the eyes and upper portion sliced away, enclosing another, smaller, shrouded head. It is a perfect example of Mitoraj’s sincere and almost cruel imagery: “I don’t stop to consider the viewers’ reception of the work” the artist declared. “I express myself through fragments because what is invisible is what matters the most.” The statue is a luminous and arresting presence located on the grounds close to the cellar building. It is framed by the sky which sets the white marble alight and brings it into sharp relief against the green profile of the hilly backdrop that surrounds the estate.
