The project "In Essence" shows the relationship between man and nature that settles in a given place and the process of mutual change. In fact, nature transforms man and man transforms nature, attributing its own identity to places.

The artist-designer Carlo Brunelli interprets the concept of space in the philosophy of Tenuta Villa Bellini, an eighteenth-century architectural structure that together with the ancient grape varieties of the brolo, with typical specimens of Valpolicella and specimens more unique than rare, takes on an identity character for the company. The attention to the historical and naturalistic dimension represents the key to Brunelli's research, as a sensitive testimony of the existence of man and his role within the ecosystem.

The world of art and that of wine meet life to tell the Estate and the biodiversity of the vineyards in an experimental and creative way, with a storytelling based on works of art in which natural and anthropogenic elements coexist. A transversal project that aims to go beyond the physical limits of space to evolve into a widespread space: the Gallery becomes in fact the starting point where spectators get involved in a multi-sensory experience, with connections and references that communicate through the multiple realities of Villa Bellini in different moments and places. The ultimate meaning is to understand the essence of the relationship between man, nature and territory beyond time and space.
