Some people choose distance. They seek closeness to nature. They leave behind cities, comforts and familiar routines, but also a life compressed by constant demands and manufactured needs, in search of a simplicity that can be life-changing. In doing so, they forge new paths that may become maps for others searching for a different way to live.
This is the inspiration behind the exhibition and book «Nella natura: storie di chi ha scelto un’altra vita» (In Nature: Stories of Those Who Chose a Different Life), curated by Paola Manfredi, with photographs by Selene Magnolia Gatti. Through words and images, the project tells the stories of six people who inhabit the threshold between the city and the wilderness. Visitors are invited to discover their journeys along a captivating exhibition route through the park of Villa del Grumello, from 13 to 20 September 2026.
