“The magical village of Panzano between Florence and Sienna nestles amidst the rolling hills of the Chianti. This beautiful village is the starting point for a path that winds its way between rows of cypresses and vineyards. What could possibly be better for an artist than to contribute to this breathtaking landscape with a selection of works that are both contemporary and humanist?” Nathalie Decoster.

World-renowned sculptor Nathalie Decoster explores the human condition through her art, creating a universal language all of her own.

The philosophy at the heart of her work is grounded in our relationship with time and nature. She makes us aware of the value of time. The time we give and the time we receive, the time that makes the moments of our life. The title of her iconic sculpture “Le Temps qui Passe” is a perfect illustration of her positive vision of the passing of time, a path that allows us to attain wisdom and serenity.

Panzano Arte is Dario Cecchini’s life-long dream. He is also the event’s ambassador, and subject of a recent episode of Netflix’s cult culinary documentary series “Chef’s Table”.

Dario Cecchini was born in Panzano in Chianti (Tuscany) in 1955. The Cecchinis have been butchers from father to son for 8 generations and have a deeply humanist approach to the butcher’s trade, which they have raised to an art form. Describing himself as a “butcher-poet”, Dario tirelessly defends the values of craftsmanship and quality.

The family butcher shop plays a central role in the life of Panzano. It has also become a must-see destination for visitors to the region.
