Stravaganze Imperiali dialogues with the landscape and architecture of the Grotte di Catullo on Lake Garda. A historical setting, already recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, illuminated by eight maxi immersive light installations and a monumental triptych by photographer David LaChapelle to create a dialogue between contemporary art and technology, reinterpreting a place full of memory.
The project invites the user to enter history and relive it firsthand through artistic installations that offer a new possibility of enjoying both art itself and the architecture of the caves in a contemporary key. A journey back in time to find oneself in the era of the splendor of Imperial Rome, leaving the visitor with the clear perception of having experienced an “other”, magical place, where dreams have become reality in an emotional artistic experience to stimulate the mind and the imagination.
