CULTURE & TRADITION
-
More than 20 sculptures by Luigi Mainolfi, created between 1978 and 2020, are set in the Court of Honour, the Grand Parterre of the Gardens of the Reggia and the Chapel of St Hubert.
From the zoomorphic-themed sculptures comes the title, Bestiary, which refers to medieval illuminated manuscripts illustrated with real and imaginary animals, but also to the fantastic zoology of Jorge Luis Borges. A recurring theme in Mainolfi, already author of Bestiario del Sole with its polychrome metamorphic creatures between myth and fairy tale.
