About
This small Italian town has been transformed into a surreal mosaic temple by an eccentric artist.
Tucked away in the otherwise quaint Italian town of Guagnano is an eye-popping phantasmagoria of tile art and sculpture known as Vincent City. Standing in stark contrast to the surrounding traditionalism of Guagnano, the private home known as “Vincent City” is the living and working space of noted painter and eccentric, Vincent Brunetti. The estate, which was created by Brunetti, is a tightly packed phantasmagoria of kitsch, with every wall, corner, and blank space filled with recycled tile mosaics or bizarre ephemera. Local authorities, preferring the staid architectural style of the rest of the village, tried to put a stop to the home’s decorations but eventually were convinced to let him stay.
