In the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, surrounded by dunes, pine forests, and open fields near the sea, stands the Fontanile Ducrot, a precious testimony to the region’s past.
Built in the early 20th century and dedicated to Adolfo Loewi Ducrot, a Sicilian entrepreneur tied to Italian industrial and architectural history, the Fontanile once played a vital role in a landscape still marked by marshlands. It served as a crucial water source for agriculture and symbolized the transformation of the Maremma into a fertile land. Today, within the Terre di Sacra nature reserve, the Fontanile Ducrot remains suspended between past and present a piece of rural architecture that harmonizes with its surroundings, evoking the deep connection between humanity, landscape, and memory.

A fragment of history in the heart of the Maremma

Art, landscape, and cultural identity

The Fontanile Ducrot in Capalbio is not merely a historical site; it embodies the layered identity of the Maremma. It tells a story of resilience, culture, and transformation where work and creativity merge into the soul of the territory. Now part of the cultural and artistic heritage of Terre di Sacra, the Fontanile Ducrot has become a focal point for reflection on history and a setting for contemporary art installations and creative narratives.

Hypermaremma: the power of contemporary art in nature

This dialogue between past and present finds a vivid expression in Hypermaremma, the festival that since 2019 has brought contemporary art into the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. Hypermaremma transforms the land itself into a museum without walls an open-air gallery where site-specific installations, performances, and interventions interact with the natural and architectural heritage of the region.

Within Terre di Sacra, the Fontanile Ducrot has become one of Hypermaremma’s most evocative stages. Between fields, lagoons, and historic rural structures, the dialogue between art and landscape takes on new life, creating fleeting, poetic encounters that reshape the way visitors perceive the territory.

Nel territorio di Terre di Sacra, il Fontanile Ducrot è diventato una delle cornici più suggestive per questi interventi, dove la natura incontra l’arte contemporanea in un equilibrio di forme e significati.

The landscape as a living artwork

The strength of Hypermaremma and the Fontanile Ducrot lies in their shared ability to transform the perception of place. An agricultural field becomes a stage, a pine grove an exhibition space, and a simple stone structure becomes a powerful symbol of creativity and renewal.
Through this interplay of art and nature, the Maremma reveals itself not just as a landscape to admire, but as a living, evolving work of art a space of inspiration and imagination.

Terre di Sacra: crossroads of history and contemporaneity

Within Terre di Sacra, the “Fontanile” Ducrot and Hypermaremma’s artistic projects embody a dialogue between heritage and innovation. Here, the Maremma emerges as an open-air cultural landscape, where agricultural history meets contemporary creativity, and the natural world becomes the canvas of artistic expression. The presence of Hypermaremma’s artistic projects within the grounds of Terre di Sacra reveal a land where memory is preserved and simultaneously renewed. Along with “Fontanile” make sure to visit “La Dodicesim Altalena” and “Spazio Amato” during your stay at Terre di Sacra.

With its Retreat & Glamping, protected nature reserve, and deep ties to art and ecology, Terre di Sacra stands as a symbol of balance between beauty, memory, and modernity a place where every element, from architecture to environment, tells a story of harmony and transformation.

Terre di Sacra, con la sua riserva naturale e il Retreat & Glamping, si conferma come luogo di dialogo tra bellezza, memoria e creatività: un laboratorio di idee e armonie, capace di custodire il passato e guardare al futuro.
