Visit Ischia

Description

Work in progress for the museum dedicated to Master Visconti, inside his island residence. Thanks to this structure the island conquers a new cultural scene becoming one of the most important international reference point about the character who marked the world, theatrical and cinematography story.
The museum wing, Villa La Colombaia, does not only conserve evidence of the life, the works of the count of Modrone and the relationship he had with the Island but it also has the potential - with a coherent and evocative reconstruction – to allow for the reappearance of the magic and the fascination of the house during Visconti’s time
Here one will see the costumes used on the movie director’s set and furnishings, sketches, photos and screenplays – all of this is a complex and unique mosaic for the visitor to take home as the soul and communicative force of Visconti.
On December 4th 2006: The President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano has placed the foundation La Colombaia di Luchino Visconti, under his permanent High patronage. The Chief of State explains that the foundation, with its art and spectacular events, is an important action for cinema and offers high level of culture with its Scuola Internazionale di Cinema e Teatro, preparing very well students to the job world. La Colombaia di Visconti, unique cultural institution dedicated to the great director, whose this year centenary of his birth occurs, is among the first South Italy foundations to participate, with Regione Campania, Provincia di Napoli, Municipality of Forio and Università degli Studi di Parma.
