CAPTURED IN SLIM AARONS PHOTOGRAPH FROM THE 60S – A STAY AT THE VILLA ARNICA
THE MOST PERFECT PLACE TO RELAX AND SHUT DOWN. SOUTH TYROL IS A SPECIAL REGION IN THE NORTH OF ITALY: WHERE WE BOTH SPEAK GERMAN AND ITALIAN, WHERE THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR – BETWEEN ITALIAN DELICACIES AND AUSTRIAN BAKING TRADITIONS. WHERE THE CLIMATE OF THE REGION OF MERANO AND ITS SURROUNDING REFERS AS GENTLE CLIMATE. THE VILLA ARNICA IS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF LANA, SOUTHERNMOST EDGE OF THE BASIN OF MERANO IN ITALY. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ITALIAN VINEYARD, THE VILLA ARNICA IS A PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH. PASSING THROUGH THE GATE OF THE GARDEN, THE VILLA RE-OPENS THE DOORS OF AN ERA. JUST AS…

Indeed, every year Ruinart collaborates with an artist who creates and interprets his vision of the champagne house and its domain through several artworks. This year, Vik Muniz, the Brazilian sculptor famous for his unorthodox choices of material for his art compositions was chosen and revealed as the Ruinart’s artist 2019.

Khaki Green with Bubbles
Okay, so this happened two weeks ago, when I attended the Art Exhibition in Geneva called, ArtGenève. If you are familiar with ArtBasel, it is kind of the same. Galleries are showing off paintings, sculptures and installations. To be honest I enjoy art a lot, even though I don’t always understand everything of it.

I also learnt that little white transparent bottles are not there for drinking, but…
