Essential information

 

OPENING HOURS

 

VISITS
You will always visit Cittadellarte’s spaces accompanied by one of our mediators, who will tell you about the stories, visions, research and activities of Cittadellarte, its founder Michelangelo Pistoletto and the many partners working alongside us. Guided tours are available from Tuesday to Friday (please book in advance and if possible only for groups or school classes) and every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) in three time slots: at 11.00 am, 2.30 pm and 4.30 pm. Guided tours last about an hour and a half, and you will see that so much of our work and the research we develop will unfortunately remain only hinted at… but you can always come back!
PLEASE NOTE: In order to get better organised to welcome you, please always make a reservation by sending an email to visita@cittadellarte.it with the names of the participants, day/time of visit and a contact telephone number… and also any other information about yourself that you would like to share; for example, your field of interest and work or any participation in activities done by us or with us in the past. This way, we will be able to touch on topics and present you with projects specifically related to your experience.
