The Villa di Capezzana “adorned” with an extraordinary sound installation, to celebrate 12 centuries of viticulture.

An unusual and extraordinary sound garden installation frames the festivities at Capezzana’s celebration of 1200 years of viticulture.

We would like to harmonize entire cities, creating unique musical accompaniments and expressions. The Sound Garden Laboratory is a model, an example that teaches, those who visit and we who create it alike, the potential and varying mix of provocative botanical and musical elements. Considering that the spaces are continually transforming, suggested by the varying forms and dimensions of innumerous and diverse botanical spaces, also the audio installations evolve with the change of the seasons, creating a natural harmonic balance that compliments the naturally occurring metrological contrasts.

Beginning in the wine cellar and continuing in the grandiose courtyard and further more in the spectacular rose garden and terrace, the intimate and captivating sounds effortlessly resonate the immense celebrations of the centuries at Capezzana incorporating marble objects which reflect the Etruscan Age.
