The Fondazione Palazzo Te in Mantua hosts an event of exceptional cultural significance: the exhibition Inventing Nature: Leonardo, Arcimboldo, Caravaggio. This journey explores the profound connection between art, science, and the perception of the natural world during the Renaissance.
Curated by Barbara Furlotti and Guido Rebecchini, the exhibition engages in a dialogue with Giulio Romano’s monumental rooms, offering a privileged insight into the works of absolute masters. Through seven thematic sections—Creating, Destroying, Surprising, Knowing, Reproducing, Astonishing, and Animating—visitors are invited to reflect on nature, perceived both as a divine and destructive force, and as an object of scientific inquiry and collecting curiosity.

The initiative extends beyond the walls of Palazzo Te, involving key local institutions in a widespread itinerary that celebrates botanical and artistic heritage. It is a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a sophisticated and evocative reflection on the relationship between human ingenuity and the complexity of the natural world.
