"And the garden created man"

A new chapter in the research between art and nature

Roberto Coda Zabetta tells the fragility of humanity and its inclination towards preserving the environment, through attempts and promises He portrays the Earth’s ability to regenerate and the tenacity that triumphs over human will. “And the garden created man” evokes nature through the use of an explosive chromatic charge and dense material that accumulates on the canvas.

The telepathists

“Stefano Arienti has distributed his artwork in the villages of Trivero in two different ways.

HISTORICAL ARCHIVES

Our inheritance

The heart of Casa Zegna houses a collection of precious fabric samples, documents, photos, videos, and testimonies that tell the story of a hundred years of industrial history.

Not only an impressive textile archive, but also an overview of entrepreneurial history, environmental and social patronage.
The idea was born in 2003 on the initiative of the Fondazione Zegna with the establishment of the corporate archival center, which saw the inauguration of the prestigious Casa Zegna complex in Trivero Valdilana (BI) in July 2007.
