Arte a San Leonardo presents Memories of Reliable Things, by Linda Fregni Nagler.

The artist was invited to develop a new project, to be presented in March 2025, to coincide with the launch of the 2020 vintage of San Leonardo. Nagler created five original works that will become part of the San Leonardo collection, as well as an artist’s label specially designed to “dress” 999 bottles of San Leonardo from the 2020 vintage.

For this third edition, Linda Fregni Nagler focused her research on the San Leonardo museum, founded in 1975 by the Marquis Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga – a place that houses dozens of objects related to the history of the company and local rural society. The artist selected five objects from among those on display, and transformed them into images suspended in time, highlighting their uniqueness and their aesthetic and technical qualities.

According to Anselmo and Ilaria Guerrieri Gonzaga «Linda Fregni Nagler's work, through the language of contemporary art, reinterprets one of the most historically rich places in the estate, emphasizing the central role of the tradition of human labor that for centuries has contributed to the creation of our wines. Her images pay homage to centuries of knowledge and expertise, to the objects and skills that, together, have helped to make San Leonardo such a unique place».
