Sound becomes a caress at Palazzo Litta, where in an immersive installation some trimmings come to life to become a large willow tree.

At Palazzo Litta, an immersive installation comes to life thanks to the sinuous branches of the willow tree, decorated with the exquisite textile creations of the Antica Fabbrica Passamanerie Massia Vittorio 1843 of Turin. Paolo Borghi, a music therapist and musician, has helped to tune the sound balance of the branches' bar chimes, transforming the metal into a carrier of universal sound and vibrant energy. This invitation to mutual care and relational serenity guides us on paths of harmony and connection.

In the shade of the hanging branches of a willow tree, stillness reigns. This tree, with its delicate branches curving downwards, offers a reassuring refuge. It is an emblematic symbol of the life cycle, female cyclicity and lunar power.

Its branches become harmonic musical instruments, turning into hydrophones that emit sound vibrations through small metal bells. These notes, blown by the wind or the passage of people, evoke a melody with ancestral roots. A landscape that invites peace and meditation, where sound becomes a caress for the soul.
