About the museum
The Parco del Sojo Arte e Natura is located in the Covolo district of Lusiana, at the foot of a rock face known as the Sojo. It is a privately owned art park covering about eight hectares of mountain land, largely wooded and crossed by old and new paths and mule tracks.
Along the route are about eighty contemporary artworks by Italian and foreign artists, many of them made on site from natural materials such as wood and stone, as well as Corten steel, bronze, ceramic and stoneware. The park presents itself as the only private contemporary art park in the Veneto and as one of the most important in Italy.
The visit follows a route of medium difficulty over rough terrain and takes about two and a half hours. Since July 2021 access has been by reservation only.
