The Giardino Viaggio di Ritorno is a contemporary art park nestled in the countryside of Castiglione della Pescaia. It is not a traditional garden: it is an experiential journey, a symbolic voyage that invites visitors to rediscover their original nature, free from the trappings of modern life.
As Tomaso Montanari writes, it is a place capable of instilling the serenity of a paradisiacal oasis.
The garden consists of monumental installations created from recycled materials: scraps, forgotten objects, and fragments of everyday life that become universal art.Each work is part of a story. The result is a visionary landscape where nature and art intertwine in a single narrative.


The garden was conceived and created by Rodolfo Lacquaniti, a bioarchitect and artist who works with the languages of total contemporary art: installations, video art, performance, painting, music, photography, words, and gesture.His work stems from a reflection on consumer society and the “energetic impoverishment” of contemporary humanity.Through the creative reuse of materials, Lacquaniti constructs a world that invites us to return to our essence.

The Daniel Spoerri Garden is a contemporary sculpture park located in Seggiano, on Mount Amiata, in Tuscany. Founded in 1997 by Swiss artist Daniel Spoerri, the garden was conceived as a natural extension of his artistic exploration: a place where art intertwines with the land, time, and memory.It is part of the Hic Terminus Haeret Foundation, which preserves its spirit and vision.
The garden spans approximately 16 hectares of Tuscan countryside, dotted with over one hundred works by Spoerri and international artists.The sculptures emerge among olive trees, meadows, and paths, creating a continuous dialogue between the artwork and the landscape.Each installation is designed to be an integral part of the site: some blend into nature, while others challenge it with ironic, surreal, or metaphysical forms.It is an open-air museum where visitors become part of the artwork.
Daniel Spoerri, born in 1930, is a key figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement.Famous for his *tableaux-pièges* (trap paintings), he transformed everyday objects into art, freezing the moment and memory in time.With this garden, Spoerri sought to create a meeting place between art and nature, where time does not erase but transforms.

The Garden of Sounds is a unique place in the Tuscan art scene: a park of sound sculptures created by German artist Paul Fuchs, who has been living and working in the Montieri woods for over twenty years.Here, art isn’t just meant to be looked at—it’s meant to be heard. The sculptures, which stand over 30 meters tall, interact with the wind, light, and landscape, transforming nature into a gigantic orchestra.

The garden is a monumental work born of an immense undertaking:
25 metric tons of iron transported into the woods and hoisted “up to the sky” using makeshift equipment.
Imposing sculptures such as Il Grande Indicatore, Spirale Eolica, High B, Segno nel Vento, and Tra la Lente join the historic works Crescendo and Visitatore Extraterrestre.
Installations that move, vibrate, sing, and moan: true contemporary creatures, capable of evoking different emotions depending on the light, the wind, and the time of day.
Paul Fuchs is a sculptor, painter, musician, and sound artist.His artistic practice stems from a deep connection with nature and a desire to transform metal into something alive—capable of moving like blades of grass and sounding like ancestral instruments.Alongside him, his wife Gaby Beisiegel-Fuchs, his son Zoro Babel, and a community of friends and neighbors physically contributed to the creation of the garden, making it a collective work imbued with real life.

The Tarot Garden is a monumental art park located in Garavicchio, near Pescia Fiorentina, in the municipality of Capalbio.It is a visionary place, an imaginative world populated by gigantic sculptures inspired by the Major Arcana of the Tarot, transformed into living, colorful, symbolic figures.This garden is more than just a place to visit: you walk through it as if through a story, an initiatory journey through archetypes, myths, and fantasy.
The garden consists of imposing sculptures made of steel and concrete, covered with mosaics of glass, ceramics, and mirrors.The works—some over ten meters tall—create a surreal landscape, a magical village where every figure is a symbol. The garden was built through immense, artisanal, physical, and often experimental labor. Each sculpture is a universe unto itself, but together they form a single, grand narrative.
The garden was conceived by the Franco-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, a central figure in contemporary art and Nouveau Réalisme.After visiting Gaudí’s Park Güell, Niki dreamed of creating a place that was just as free, fantastical, and spiritual.The Tarot Garden is the result of that dream: a total work of art, built with the help of artisans, friends, collaborators, and her husband Jean Tinguely.
