Museo Vincenzo Vela, Ligornetto

Address

Company description and purpose of company Museo Vincenzo Vela

The Museo Vincenzo Vela is one of the most important European artists' houses of the 19th century and was designed by Vincenzo Vela (1820-91), an important Ticino sculptor of realistic style, at the height of his work. The villa was subsequently transferred to the Swiss Confederation as a testamentary estate and made accessible to the public as a residential museum. In addition to the monumental sculpture collection Vincenzo Velas, the museum also houses the estate of the sculptor Lorenzo Vela (1812-97) and the painter Spartaco Vela (1854-95), a considerable picture gallery of Lombard and Piedmontese artists from the 19th century, hundreds of hand drawings and one of the oldest Swiss private collections of photographs. In the museum rooms you can admire, among other things, many wonderful portraits of the pioneers of the Risorgimento, in which the Italian and Swiss art and history of the 19th century merge into one; at the same time, however, the private character of the residence is always present. The interplay of all these factors and not least the graceful park that surrounds the property make the Villa Vela appear as a total work of art. The museum is located at the foot of Monte San Giorgio (UNESCO World Heritage Site), only 500 m from the Italian border, and has been completely renovated under the direction of the architect Mario Botta. In addition to the museum's own collections, temporary exhibitions can also be seen on a regular basis.
