Presentation Photo Museum Gamba Castle
Built at the beginning of the 1900s following the plans of the engineer Carlo Saroldi, the Gamba Castle was commissioned by Charles Maurice Gamba, husband of Angélique d’Entrèves, daughter of Count Christin d’Entrèves. Since 1982 it has become property of the Aosta Valley Autonomous Region.
After a complex restoration work, today the castle houses an exhibition route distributed through 13 rooms, with over 150 works of art such as paintings, sculptures, installations, drawings and photographs belonging to a regional collection dating back from the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. Beside the works of the maestros of the 20th century, including the sculptures of Martini, Mastroianni, Manzù, Arnaldo and Giò Pomodoro, and paintings by Casorati, De Pisis, Carrà and Guttuso, the collection documents Italian figurative art production from the second half of the century up to contemporary research exponents, such as Schifano, Baruchello, Rama and Mainolfi.
A vast and varied selection of works testifies to the movements that have animated the Italian art scene over the past 25 years: for example, the exhibition hosts representations of informal art, geometric abstraction, Trans-Avantgarde and Pop Art. Particular importance is given to the Aosta Valley region through the activity of local artists, or those active in the Valley, on regional commission.
For visitors seeking both learning and distraction, the exhibition offers a series of services designed to bring different categories of visitors (families, adults, schools, children, young people) closer to modern and contemporary art through workshop activities, guided tours and events. The castle is surrounded by an English park, which stretches over a total area of 54.000 square meters, and which hosts about 150 trees of different species. Inside there are three monumental trees: the Giant Sequoia from California, the Bald cypress and the Honey Locust.
