Casalborgone Castle
School of Decoration and Classical Arts
The project of the School of Decoration and Classical Arts at Casalborgone Castle provides the
possibility to form new generations of artists able to make available this opportunity to live the Castle
and the Access project from the point of view of the elegance of living. And, at a larger radius, it is
intended as a fertile ground to grow individuals able to return, through the learning of decorative arts,
the value that can represent the art and elegance of living in the future. Art, thus, can start again to be
and to be perceived as a vehicle for awareness and creating a future of elegance and abundance.
No longer the study of art to stay anchored to a nostalgic golden age, but the generation of a
sustainable future that includes beauty as a valuable and essential tool of human experience. In addition
to the decorative arts, great space will be reserved for the restoration of classical arts, to encourage the
acknowledgement of the value of every form of art and treasures available to us to enhance the quality
of our life.
OUR MISSION
Creating a space for people to perceive, know, be and receive the possibility to add Aesthetics, Decadence,
Hedonism and Elegance to their lives and living, and alter their reality with total ease through experiencing
decorative and classical art techniques.
