In the heart of Brescia, halfway between Milan and Verona, stands a 13th century palazzo decorated with frescoes from 1750. Vipp opens its opulent gates to an ephemeral hotel experience fusing Scandinavian minimalism with Baroque maximalism.
Palazzo Pop-Up
Entering the opulent gates of the 13th century palazzo in the heart of Brescia is like stepping into an old master’s painting. A voluminous staircase framed by pastel frescoes guides the guest in almost royal manner to the Vipp guesthouse occupying the first floor.
The Baroque frames will take on a new dimension melding together art, design, and hospitality with a pop-up hotel by Vipp. Envisioned as a liveable installation, realised by Danish interior designer, Julie Cloos Mølsgaard, Vipp Palazzo Monti is the 7th entry in Vipp’s guesthouse portfolio, a deconstructed hotel concept involving leading architects and designers in the exploration of architectural archetypes turned one-of-a kind bookable venues.
Vipp Palazzo Monti is open April 18th – May 18th, 2023

To date, over 200 artists from 50 countries have been welcomed by Palazzo Monti. Each artist is invited to leave a piece created during their stay explaining why the palace boast a vast collection of paintings and prints, installations and objects in ceramic, iron, bronze, marble or wood inspired by the savoir-faire of the Italian territory.
With an education from London’s Central Saint Martins in art and design, Edoardo, followed a career within fashion working eight years for Stella McCartney in New York.
