A new contemporary sculpture park, Parco Sculture Todini, is set to open on May 23 within the Tenuta Todini estate in Collevalenza, near Todi, Umbria. The debut features two site-specific works: "VITE" by Matteo Attruia, which plays on the double meaning of vine and lives, and "Tempus Mirabilis" by Silvia Ranchicchio, a reflective environmental sculpture that changes with light and seasons. The park is curated by Massimo Mattioli and supported by the Arvedi steelworks of Terni and entrepreneur Luisa Todini.
The park matters because it enriches Umbria's already vibrant sculpture landscape, joining established sites like Campo del sole, Brufa park, and Beverly Pepper's park in Todi. It also integrates art with the estate's working farm and zoological educational facility, creating a unique dialogue between contemporary art, nature, and agriculture. The project reflects a growing trend of private estates opening curated art spaces that blend cultural tourism with local heritage.
