In the heart of Siena, the historic Palazzo delle Papesse welcomes visitors once more. This remarkable building, commissioned by Caterina Piccolomini in the late 15th century, has been closed since 2008. Now, it reopens its doors with an exciting exhibition titled "Julio Le Parc. The Discovery of Perception. Works from 1958 to the Present."
The Renaissance palace offers more than just a glimpse into history. Its courtyard and terrace culminate in a rooftop loggia that provides a spectacular panoramic view of Siena. But the real highlight is the chance to admire the works of contemporary master Julio Le Parc, displayed throughout the palace. These pieces, created between 1958 and 2024, are a testament to Le Parc's lifelong exploration of movement, colour, and light. They offer a striking illustration of his distinctive approach to art and creation.
Le Parc's playful yet profound style places you at the centre of his work, inviting full participation and engagement. His renowned use of geometries and colour combinations harmonise perfectly with the palace's magnificent frescoes and architecture. This creates a surprising and emotional visual adventure for all visitors, offering a truly immersive experience in the world of art.
