Prato del Sole and Mill House in Vernio

A large grassy clearing with a large red metal sun welcomes visitors arriving at Prato del Sole, a public garden in Montepiano. The enameled metal sculpture was donated by the artist Bruno Saetti, who intended this space as a place of peace and contemplation where he could stimulate his creativity.

Here in Montepiano, in the Municipality of Vernio, Saetti had found the ideal place to create his works, choosing the Mill House as his home and art studio. Today this large building is an art school.
