The Big Benches are giant benches born from the idea of the American designer Chris Bangle to install
in panoramic viewpoints these oversized objects, where you can sit to enjoy the view and relax.
On the 1st of August 2022, the Big Bench number 245 – the first one in Umbria– was installed in our organic farm.
We have chosen to place it in a point that is as important as it is significant to us:
it is located on the top of the hill where our “married vines”
(the vines grow on or are connected to trees, as if they were married)
are present, one of the “symbols” of Vinosanto made from smoked grapes
from the Upper Tiber Valley, a Slow Food presidium of Umbria.
What we hope with the installation of this bench is that many people, moved by the desire to put an extra stamp on the “BBPC passport“, can visit our territory, Upper Umbria,
to discover the enological, gastronomic and artistic treasures it hides.
In our company you can not only
buy the BBCP passports,
but, above all, put the stamp on it!
What are you waiting for?
