Castello di Perno renews and reaffirms its recent vocation to contemporary art with the solo exhibition dedicated to Piero Gilardi and entitled Naturæ Semper. Curated by Musketeers in collaboration with Gufram and with the support of Galleria Giraldi, the exhibition is located in the ancient and fascinating spaces of the structure that was the cultural crucible and operational base of the Einaudi Publishing House, telling through thirty-nine works the poetics of the Master and the history of His collaboration with the well-known Barolo furniture and design company. In fact, famous objects of Italian design created by Gilardi for Gufram are brought together and presented to the public for the first time, such as the Pavépiuma carpet from 1967, the Sassi seating system from the following year, the bitten Mela armchair from 1971, the Sassi lamp from 1973 and the Massolo coffee table from 1974, just to remember the most famous: iconic pieces, some of which are present in prestigious international collections ranging from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, from the Denver Art Museum to the Montreal Museum of Fine Art.
