Il Luogo della Cascata

Il Luogo della Cascata is a cultural association based in Milan, Italy, closely linked to the Fondazione Vittorio Mazzucconi. The name refers to a small green area along the Naviglio Grande, near the Chiesina di San Cristoforo, where a waterfall connects the Naviglio to the Olona river. On this site stands a roughly 700-square-meter loft that serves as the headquarters of the Foundation. The location is described as unexpected for Milan, mysterious in the way that places invented by Vittorio Mazzucconi are—found not only in reality but in an inner dimension where encounters and magical relationships give rise to works of art. After the cessation of the exhibition space and the café, the Associazione Culturale "Il Luogo della Cascata" began in 2015 an editorial activity connected to the Foundation, publishing the "Orientarsi" series of Vittorio Mazzucconi's last books. The association also manages an autonomous exhibition space. The café, called "Il Luogo della Cascata Cafè," was created following the example of cultural institutions in the United States and half of Europe. It is managed by a parallel cultural association aimed at encouraging conviviality and participation. The café is open during the same hours as the Foundation: every day except Monday from 10:00 to 19:00, and one evening a week (Wednesday) until 23:00. It can serve drinks and snacks to exhibition visitors at any hour, including during the lunch break, or organize special buffets on request for particular events. The association operates as a private, non-profit cultural entity. Its activities include publishing, exhibitions, and the management of the café and exhibition space. The website is hosted under the domain of Vittorio Mazzucconi, indicating the close relationship between the association and the Foundation. The entity is based in Milan and operates primarily in that city.
