“The Shaman of Art” – Joseph Beuys photograph by Buby Durini, 1972. “Invited by the spouses Lucrezia De Domizio and Buby Dorini, Joseph Beuys arrived in Bolognano (Pescara) in 1972,” says John.

“Here, he carried out a series of artistic activities, including the foundation for the institute for the Rebirth of Agriculture (1967), the creation of the Paradise Plantation with the planting of 7000 plants for the restoration of biodiversity (1982), and the work Olivestone (1984).”

A 1959 work by Tony Tuckson hangs above the fireplace.
