For over ninety years we have been minding a cultural heritage unique for its fusion of history, art and nature.
We are open to everyone: young and old, tourists and local residents. Why not walk this path with us?
“Un passo nel parco, un passo verso il futuro. Villa Carlotta una risorsa per il territorio” è il titolo del progetto presentato dall’Ente Villa Carlotta nell'ambito del PNRR Parchi e Giardini Storici, finanziato dall’Unione europea – Next Generation , Ministero della Cultura.
The Ente Villa Carlotta in collaboration with the La Venaria Reale Centro di Conservazione e Restauro presents the project "Transmitting to the future: protection, maintenance, planned conservation."
With the contribution of the Cariplo Foundation, the two institutions undertake to tackle together the question of the preventive conservation of the museum and the botanical garden of Villa Carlotta. This is an essential challenge in order to ensure the transmission to future generations of a very unique inheritance, which includes the historical-artistic heritage, the landscape and the deep social and economic connections that inevitably are established with the context in which we live.
Villa Carlotta, participates in the MARKS project "Monumental Arboretum For The Historical Network And The Knowledge-Management Of Innovative Multifactory And Artistic Spaces Between Italy And Switzerland", co-financed by the Interreg V-A Italy-Switzerland 2014-2020 Cooperation Program.
Thanks to its expertise in the virtuous and sustainable management of a complex cultural asset, the Villa Carlotta’s institution will provide its contribution in increasing the attractiveness of border areas, collaborating in the formation of a new tourist-cultural offer which main center will be the creation of a museum located in Valle Intelvi, designed by the architect Kengo Kuma, which will keep the collection of Karl Schmid.
The Integrated Plans of Culture arise from the will of the Lombardy Region to create a tool for planning and implementing cultural development, useful for enhancing the tourist-cultural offer of our territories.
Since 2020 Villa Carlotta has been involved in the Integrated Culture Plan "Un tesoro di territorio", which involves a large number of realities in the province of Como and its lake and which was made possible by the support of the Lombardy Region.
Created by Fondazione Cariplo with the help of Fondazione Peppino Vismara and community charities, LETS GO! call is a support measure aimed at Third Sector Organizations, among which Cultural Institutions as the likes of Villa Carlotta, that have faced the heavy consequences left by Covid-19 pandemic.
Thanks to the generous contribution made possible by Fondazione Cariplo through the call, Villa Carlotta has been allowed to continue its daily activities and has remained a solid reference within the cultural scenario of its local area.
Culture is a fundamental human right and everyone should be able to enjoy it to the full. For this reason, the "Villa Carlotta per tutti" project for all was born in 2017, setting itself an ambitious goal: to allow the disabled person to get to know Villa Carlotta’s gardens and museum, overcoming cognitive, sensory, economic, and social barriers.
