Associazione Culturale Dello Scompiglio

Created in 2003 and directed since then by the artist and theatre director Cecilia Bertoni, the Dello Scompiglio Project comes to life from the homonymous estate located just outside Lucca, Tuscany.

A unique poetical, physical, and mental garden taking shape as a single body in which culture, agriculture, and gastronomy seamlessly interweave. Three interdependent realities coexist within the estate, carrying out a dynamic process focused on research, with particular attention to environmental care and landscape development. Alongside the restaurant Cucina Dello Scompiglio and the organic farm Azienda Agricola, the cultural association Associazione Culturale Dello Scompiglio has, since 2007, presented an intense multidisciplinary activity, linked to visual and performing arts. The programme, which in recent years has seen itineraries and seasons related to specific themes, with open calls and residencies for artists and Dello Scompiglio’s own productions and creations, spans exhibitions and installations, performances, concerts, lectures and activities designed for children and teenagers, with the aim of questioning the demarcation of boundaries and limits between the different disciplines that make up the contemporary.
