A journey of creativity and beauty
Umberto a Mare has always been a place where art can be breathed into every corner. Not only an exclusive refuge for those seeking hospitality and good food, but also an extraordinary stage for painting, photography, sculpture and the most diverse forms of artistic expression. On Ischia, it is a veritable temple of art, hosting works by talented artists from every corner of the world, creating an atmosphere that transforms every stay into an immersive experience in beauty.
The walls of Umberto a Mare come alive with works of art of great value. Over the years, we have had the privilege of hosting numerous exhibitions by contemporary artists, enriching our space with unique pieces that tell stories and emotions. Prominent among them is the presence of master Piero Pizzi Cannella, who chose this place as his place of the heart, working in a room that became his Atelier of the Seas and Winds.
An interesting chapter in this story is the account written by Pizzi Cannella’s wife, who narrates the experience of the Atelier of the Seas and Winds. The text describes not only the place, but also the deep emotional bond between the artist and the environment that inspired him, enriching the understanding of Pizzi Cannella’s art.
Among the most significant exhibitions hosted over the years, we cannot fail to mention the touching ‘Twelve Joys and a Lucky Charm’ exhibition by Pizzi Cannella, as well as the revealing ‘Segou’ exhibition by master Arcangelo. Another highlight was the exhibition ‘Arrival Thursday’ by Rossella Fumasoni, which captured the essence of this special place. In addition, the exhibition ‘The Paradise of Fragile Heroes’ saw the presentation of the book ‘Fragile Heroes’, a work that dedicates a very special chapter to Umberto a Mare, celebrating our commitment to culture and art.
Umberto a Mare is a place where art and culture take centre stage, giving its guests an unparalleled experience.
