The scent of the citrus trees and flowers in the garden welcome you to the Vincenzo Vela Museum, housed in a beautiful 19th-century villa that was once home to the artist.

Stroll up the avenue with your guests as you lead them to the Vincenzo Vela Museum at the top of the hill. It’s not far, but you’ll want to stop and take a few photos and selfies in these stunning grounds that form part of the Gardens of Switzerland network.

Your guide awaits you for a brief guided tour around the museum, with a particular focus on Vincenzo Vela’s cast gallery. The white plaster of all these huge sculptures strikes you every time. Your clients are listening intently to what the guide has to say and you can see that they're completely absorbed.

However, the time has come for you to clear your throat and start a short speech to the members of the association you chair with such pride and passion. A few flashes go off as pictures are taken with honorary members and important figures, and then everyone goes outside to enjoy an aperitif in the garden.
