Sequerciani Arte Clima was born from my desire to link every experience of visiting Sequerciani, including the encounter with its produce, to a non-consumeristic approach -- to help emerge our sensations related to taste to their utmost.

The environment in which we are immersed is fundamentally a mirror of one's self: and in this context we would like to facilitate the understanding that, by respecting our
surroundings, we respect ourselves and others.

The step by step change in this process of reflection occurred for me when I realized that by paying attention to yourself you pay attention to the environment (and vice versa).  Automatically one’s attitude towards food and time also changes.

I call all of this “Arte a Clima”. 

Sequerciani Arte Clima’s work is currently in a "pilot" phase in which we have given
ourselves the objective, with the help of our artists, of creating something fully in tune with the environment around us.  So, our artists have been working with the soil, the light, the forest and the mushrooms. If we had done this in Milan, Paris or New York, it would be
something perhaps almost normal.  The special thing, for us, is to do it here in Tatti, on this land, on this ground, far away from anything and any place that we are used to recognizing as the established art world.  

I think this gives us a certain strength: that of being able to express something that is closely, intrinsically related to physical reality of nature.  

We want to cultivate artists just as we cultivate wheat, vines and olive trees.

Linking art to agroecology for us is not a marketing operation. Sequerciani's Arte Clima project was born not to create more, but to use what already exists; it does not create added value but only value. We want only to enhance what exists -- through the artists' work -- inquisitively investigating what nature gifts us and maintaining that sense of truth that has accompanied the entire Sequerciani experience.  

I think the real value of this experience will be the energy that we and the artists will be able to convey to anyone who wants to explore, or more importantly who wants to immerse themselves in, the greatest piece of art we have: the environment that surrounds us. In this sense the artists and their work will be a means to an end result -- which will be an
awareness that we must protect in every way, what we look at, breathe, and touch, every day.
