The main location of the Alberto Peruzzo Foundation’s cultural space is the Church of Sant’Agnese, an ancient 13th-century building located in Padua. The restoration of the former church, completed in 2023, aimed to create an unprecedented space, specifically a place that could become a point of reference for the city of Padua and the community.
Through a variety of events and activities, Sant’Agnese aims to be a cultural hub where synergies and interconnections can be fostered to enhance and disseminate art and cultural heritage. The Nave (Navata) is now a space dedicated to temporary exhibitions, while the Sacristy (Sacrestia) houses a selection from the Foundation’s permanent collection.
On the lower level, the Hypogeum (Ipogeo) features a permanent historical area that displays a series of artifacts discovered during the restoration — including significant 14th-century fresco fragments — and two tomb slabs.
The Foundation’s terrace is situated above the Sacristy. This space not only offers an exclusive panoramic view of the historic center but also provides a unique perspective on the 15th-century bell tower and the artwork by Kounellis. The terrace is an ideal location for exhibiting sculptures and hosting events.
