All the Joy at the Vittoriale: Celebration, Games, and Art in Gardone Riviera

A festive day titled “All the Joy, All the Joy!” awaits visitors of all ages at the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera on Sunday, December 14, 2025. The event will feature free admission to the park for the entire day, with a program that blends tradition, art, and fun for families, including celebrations for Santa Lucia, “ancient” games, and the inauguration of a new photographic exhibition. View of the Vittoriale Santa Lucia, Games, and Family Fun From 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the park will come alive with the presence of Santa Lucia and her donkey Noè, who will distribute candies to children. President Giordano Bruno Guerri emphasized the desire to offer an additional festive day: “We know well that Santa Lucia is celebrated on December 13. We will celebrate it on the 14th to give an extra day of joy to children, parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, uncles, and friends who come to visit us at the Vittoriale.” In addition to street performers, Roberto Mantovani will organize a series of ancient games at Villa Mirabella and in the garden of Casa Cama, crafted from recycled materials for simple and engaging fun. Inauguration of the Exhibition “Inventions of Memory” The day will also serve as the occasion to inaugurate the photographic exhibition “Inventions of Memory” by Carlo Gavazzeni Ricordi, set up at the MAS and Villa Mirabella until March 1, 2026. The project, curated by Giordano Bruno Guerri and organized by Il Cigno Arte, presents a selection of large-format works. Through the technique of double and triple exposure, Gavazzeni Ricordi explores the materiality of light, creating a visual journey that reinterprets the architectures of the Vittoriale and suggests an imagined Rome.
