Guido Toschi Marazzani Viscontiparticipate with thePalladio tent, located in the garden with ancient and exotic charm, combining passion for distant places and the need for unique outdoor spaces. Create tents and pavilions with ancient charm, esotico, sometimes fairy-tale, was born from the need to reconcile our passion for distant times and places with the concrete need to create coverings that are beautiful to look at but also solid and resistant to create new places for outdoor living. The stylistic research and conceptual inspiration ranges from the war tents of the Roman countryside, to medieval camps for jousts and tournaments, from the luxurious eighteenth/nineteenth century pavilions up to the exotic suggestions of the Berber tents of North Africa. Over the years we have created numerous models of the most varied shapes and sizes, but only those that have demonstrated the best performance in terms of reliability and durability have become part of our permanent and patented collection. For this occasion the Palladio tent will be exhibited.
