Created by Italo Bolano in 1964, the open-air museum is situated in the heart of the island, in the Etruscan and Napoleonic valley of San Martino.
There are 24 monuments by the Elban artist: totems that blend perfectly with the ten-thousand square meters of typical Mediterranean plants. In the same area is also a gallery with a permanent exhibition by Italo Bolano who, during the last 40 years, has organized theater events, artistic handicraft laboratories (in which Italian and overseas artists create original ceramic products then exhibited in the garden), and summer painting and ceramic courses.
Tourists can walk around the park and also take part in a painting or ceramic lesson. The International Art Center also works with handicapped persons.
Among the beautiful nature inside the park and among the artists there is a particular atmosphere: an Arcadian encounter out of time.
