Giornate Internazionali Delle Case Dei Personaggi Illustri 75baf8852179db5319106d22495c42bd

Villa Maria, the summer residence of the Pointillist painter Angelo Morbelli, is participating in the International Days of the Houses of Illustrious Persons, scheduled for April 18 and 19, 2026. Two days dedicated to the places that preserve the memory and legacy of the "Greats." To celebrate these evocative places, the National Association of Houses of Memory has decided to promote the Days of the Houses of Illustrious Persons worldwide, scheduled for next Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19. Small houses or historic villas, homes or actual museums, permanent residences or summer "retreats," where a different atmosphere reigns, where history blends with the present, keeping alive the memory of those who, though no longer alive, still have much to say. All united ideally for two days under the same banner: to enhance the memory of the past and pass it on to new generations. For half a century, Villa Maria in the Colma district of Rosignano Monferrato was the summer residence of the painter Angelo Morbelli, one of the leading exponents of Italian Divisionism. Artists such as Bistolfi, Segantini, Pellizza, and Longoni, in addition to their artistic fervor and cultural and social commitment, shared, along with others, another singular and common feeling: friendship and regular visits, especially during the summer months, to Villa Maria, which houses the celebrated painter's studio, a unique and unparalleled place.
