At Villa Necchi, Tempo and FAI celebrate the italian artistic heritage
Objective number one: safeguarding the Italian artistic heritage by celebrating it in all its immeasurable beauty. This is the objective of Tempo, the legendary tissue brand, which has chosen to pay homage to four historical treasures of the Bel Paese through elegant themed home packs (available for sale until the end of 2024). The project, which supports the FAI – Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano, committed since 1975 to protecting the beauty of our country, starts from a general overview and then gradually focuses on stories, testimonies, small details, and finishes. Such as the decorative detail of Avio Castle dominating the Val Lagarina crossed by the Adige River in Trentino, or the fresco by Lambert Sustris in the refined sixteenth-century Villa dei Vescovi on the Euganean Hills, like the stuccoes of the Dining Room of Villa Necchi Campiglio designed in the 1930s in Milan by architect Pietro Portaluppi, or again, the labyrinth of Masino Castle and Park that has dominated the vast plain of Canavese in Piedmont for centuries.The boxes, all strictly limited editions, were presented the other evening in the wonderful setting of Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan, with the aim of shedding light not only on our art history but also on the richness of traditions preserved in special places. Present at the event, among others, were Geppi Cucciari, Nicolas Ballario, Tommaso Sacchi, Stefano Seletti, Lady Tarin, Saturnino Celani and Giovanni Caccamo. All united to celebrate in an original way one of the most precious things we have: our artistic and landscape heritage.
