Art at Il Bottaccio

A constant search for beauty made Il Bottaccio a unique experience where every décor celebrates an artistic form; from the rooms to common areas, you will find paintings and decorations giving life to an art gallery that blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature.

True to a region that sees art and beauty as its core, Il Bottaccio encourages its guests to love and admire art in all its shapes and forms.  Here, even a handrail disguises the genius of a clever artist, and then it’s a sensational parade of paintings, sculptures, decorations, textiles and furniture.  Marble certainly triumphs, but other media are employed in a discerning juxtaposition of eras and subjects, design pieces sitting next to oil paintings hidden within wooden doors and an overall creative aura to be sensed everywhere. 

  • Giovanni Balderi

    When Giovanni Balderi begins to sculpt, he faces the marble block in its nakedness and crudeness as a living material in which to discover the soul. He feels this material as a metamorphosis in progress, he rediscovers unusual sensations, he suggests tactile perceptions as if to make the vital spirit, the emotional breath, emerge from the "body" of the material.

    "THE IMMORTAL WINGS" BY ROMOLO DEL DEO
    The curatorial concept behind this exhibition of Romolo Del Deo at Il Bottaccio is to explore the main body of his work that bestows wings in various unconventional ways such as to mythological figures that don’t usually get depicted as winged, like Daphne, in the “Tree of Life Which Is Ours;” to ideas and invented mythological figures like “Sovra;” in fantastic reality where wings aren’t normally depicted, such as sprouting from feet and faces, like in “Mercurio;” or to mortals who assumed wings like “Daedalus.” Frequently the artist makes it apparent that the wings are an assumed identity or a transformed identity.
