The building has been lovingly restored according to the most traditional style of the umbrian architecture. Each floor overlooks the breathtaking garden whose colours and scents become absolutely unique in spring.

Atelier

These fabrics soon became the subject of her study and research. Mrs Ducrot’s collection of rare fabrics, both ancient and contemporary, gave the start to an artistic path of research which will make her privilege this kind of materials to create her art work. “I realized repetition in patterns in the Western world are practical, ancillary to a narration. In Eastern countries, however, repetition becomes the grounds for the play. Through the repetition of a subject, I began to focus on trying to convey a meditative state of mind. This attitude has links to prayers. All prayers are, in fact, a repetition hence the recurrence leads to a sort of a sacred art” This statement by Mrs Ducrot tells us about the origin of her style, a recurrence of patterns and shapes bringing the art piece close to a contemplative thought and, in the end, to a prayer. The artworks came to life on precious, ancient and modern textiles, as well as other fragile materials such as paper, used for many of her installation.

History

“Planning and creating a rose garden was a useful way of escaping from an obsession: I had the rose in mind but no idea how to answer the question “which rose”? The colour, the perfume, the shape, the bearing of roses ended jumbled up in the small graphic and acoustic space of those four letters, as I were trying to count the columns of an imaginary temple…” This was Mrs Isabella Ducrot’s thought which inspired the Garden of Roses.

From her love for this precious flower the “Garden of Roses” started to bloom all around the country house. Today it boasts about 600 species from all over the world brought back from their travels around the world by Vicky and Isabella Ducrot. Within the estate there is also Isabella Ducrot’s art atelier. The artist found inspiration to create her famous floreal paintings in each and every flower of the garden over 50 years of stays at Ducrot Rose Garden.
