The timeless charm of the Sirmione peninsula is tinged with decidedly artistic nuances this summer. If you’re planning a cultural trip to Lake Garda, the historic walls of this pearl of the lake are transformed into a veritable open-air museum. The highlight of the season for lovers of fine art photography is the rich program of exhibitions at Palazzo Callas in Sirmione, which this year hosts the extraordinary exhibition “If Trees Could Speak” in collaboration with the legendary Magnum Photos agency. The great news for guests of Hotel Le Terrazze sul Lago in Padenghe? Sirmione is just a 15-minute drive from our facility: the ideal location to enjoy a unique visual journey and then return to the silence of our hilltop setting.
A perfect combination of the magic of Magnum and “Public Art”
The beating heart of the event is Palazzo Callas, located in Sirmione’s central square, which will open its doors to an extraordinary photographic journey until July 12, 2026. Among the most anticipated exhibitions at Palazzo Callas in Sirmione, this selection by Magnum Photos explores the profound relationship between humanity and nature through the eyes of history’s most celebrated photojournalists. But the experience doesn’t stop inside the rooms: the entire town becomes an open-air stage with the Pietra&Co / “Natural Intelligence” project. Walking from Punta Grò to the Grotte di Catullo, you’ll encounter magnificent sculptures and contemporary art installations perfectly integrated into the Garda landscape. A rejuvenating stroll that combines Roman history, the natural beauty of olive trees, and the power of the visual arts.
