Exhibitions

A contemporary art exhibition in dialogue with the most iconic landscapes for over 50 years

Since 1971, the artistic event of Forme nel Verde (translating to “Forms in the Green”) has combined contemporary art and landscape in a harmonious dialogue between art and nature.

The main feature of the event is the geometries of the Horti Leonini, the 16ᵗʰ-century Italian garden in San Quirico d’Orcia. A unique place where each year an artist or a collective of artists proposes their own vision of Land Art, seeing sculpture interact with the space and landscape.

In addition to the Horti Leonini, other spaces are involved in each edition, selected from among iconic locations that characterize the landscape of San Quirico and Bagno Vignoni. These spaces have hosted works by the likes of Arnaldo Pomodoro, Costantino Nivola, Pietro Cascella, Mirella Forlivesi, Lorenzo Guadagnucci along with Manzù, Alessandro Tagliolini, Carmelo Cappello, Matthew Spender, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Maurizio Cattelan.

The 54ᵗʰ edition will run from July 26 to November 2, 2025.
