Villa Faravelli - M.A.C.I. (Museo Arte Contemporanea Imperia)
About This Museum
Tucked away in the coastal town of Imperia, within the lush grounds of Villa Faravelli, you'll find M.A.C.I., a vibrant hub for contemporary art. It's a place that feels both intimate and surprising, where the modern works create a fascinating dialogue with the historic villa setting. The collection is dynamic, featuring everything from bold paintings to immersive installations by a mix of Italian and international artists. Stepping from the sun-drenched Ligurian garden into the cool, white galleries is an experience in itself.
Collection Highlights
Look for striking geometric sculptures in the garden and rotating exhibits that might feature anything from abstract expressionist canvases to thought-provoking conceptual pieces.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on Viale Matteotti, and while hours can vary with exhibitions, it's always wise to check their social media for the latest before you go.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in an elegant early 20th-century Liberty-style villa, all graceful curves and floral motifs, which provides a beautiful, almost poetic contrast to the art inside.
