Chianti's Sculpture Park

Here's another family attraction we just came across, close to the heart of Chianti. It's an outdoor contemporary sculpture park, with permanent exhibits and installations set in woodland north of Siena: the Chianti Sculpture Park.

There's also a contemporary art and sculpture shop on-site. Curator Dr. Piero Giadrossi explains:

Your readers might also be interested to know that in front of the entrance to the Park there is a sculpture gallery, located in an ancient renovated pottery, a fine example of industrial archeology. It is probably the largest in Italy and displays sculptures not to be found elsewhere in Europe.


We haven't inspected the park yet ourselves, but will be heading there as and when a new edition enters production.

It's open 10am until sunset April to October; entrance is €7.50, €5 for under 16s. Local tel. 0577 357151.

Driving directions are here.
