CAPPELA BELLINI

Se siete alla ricerca del giusto mix tra Toscana e Provenza, la Cappella Bellini fa al caso vostro.

La cappella, di ispirazione barocca, fu costruita nel 1894 dal conte Vitali, il cui nome è inciso sulla campana. Essa fa parte di Villa Fiorentina, celebre villa « all’italiana », dove all’interno è possibile ammirare il capanile con orologio e la galleria con scala in legno, rigorosamente in stile barocco.

Nel 1953 divenne proprietà del pittore e architetto Emanuele Bellini (1904-1989), il quale seppe creare all’interno un’atmosfera particolarmente straordinaria grazie al suo stile colorato ispirato all’impressionismo e al fauvismo. Si tratta di un vero e proprio studio d’artista, ricco di colori, divertimento e immaginazione. La cappella è oggi un museo dedicato all’artista, e la figlia sarà lieta di mostrarvela insieme alla vita del pittore, che sono un tutt’uno, ogni pomeriggio a partire dalle 14.00 fino alle 17, oppure su appuntamento. Bellini ha dipinto e segnato per sempre una certa immagine rassicurante e gioiosa della città del cinema.

ESCURSIONE NEL CUORE DEL PAESE
