Casa dell'Upupa is not your typical museum, but a vibrant and welcoming place where memory, art, and the local area come together. Here, you enter Ilario Fioravanti's home-studio, surrounded by terracotta works, drawings, notes, and everyday objects that tell the storey of the life of this one-of-a-kind artist.
The tour is not a simple explanation, but a storey told: you will be guided by the artist’s granddaughter, who will lead you through the rooms, sharing family anecdotes, memories, and interesting facts. Each room holds a part of Ilario’s soul and of those who discover it, transforming the visit into an emotional as well as a cultural journey.
Here, visitors are not passive spectators but co-stars alongside the art: you can ask questions, linger on the details that resonate with you the most, and let your emotions guide you. The visit is tailored to the visitors and their interests, making each experience different, personal, and unique.
All of this is set within an extraordinary landscape: from the hills to the sea, the view sweeps across a panorama that changes with the seasons and often gives the feeling of being “above the clouds.” The natural surroundings of Casa dell’Upupa interact with the artworks and intensify the sense of wonder and contemplation.
If you are looking for a place where you feel welcomed, where art is close at hand, presented with passion, and capable of creating a deep connection with the artist’s storey and humanity, Casa dell’Upupa is the right place for you. You will leave feeling that you have visited not just a museum, but a home brimming with life, memory, and beauty.
