Journey to the East

A special experience amidst hand-painted wallpaper, exquisite furnishings, chinoiserie and a dreamlike atmosphere.

La Palazzina invites visitors on an evocative journey through distant eras and lands with “Journey to the East”, a brand-new themed tour designed exclusively for the Museum Pass.

An immersive journey that guides visitors in discovering the profound fascination that exoticism exerts on historic interiors. From the delicate atmospheres of the watercolour landscapes depicted on the wallpaper to the sumptuous fabrics and refined furnishings, each room reveals a taste for stylistic fusion and a sense of wonder.

The tour winds its way through the rooms of the mansion, taking in stops of great visual and narrative appeal: from the elegant chinoiserie pieces that bear witness to the myth of distant worlds, to the exotic and surprising ’games room“, right through to the bizarre and fascinating animals that inhabit the ornate menagerie, offering a unique insight into the history of collecting and decorative taste.

The activity combines a historical and artistic narrative with a sensory and exploratory experience, designed to offer participants a new and fascinating perspective on the building’s heritage.
