Alchimia Room & Breakfast was born to rediscover Art, in whatever form it is conceived. We are often too busy with our daily lives and we have lost sight of the difference between to be and to appear. For us, to be is listening to a poem with closed eyes and to open them to admire the voluptuousness of life. Alchimia is not just a Room & Breakfast but an art gallery where guests can breath something more; we hope it will be able to go over all this and to bring more people near to art.
Alchimia Room and Breakfast will bring you into a magical deep world, with a remarkable story.
An historical research dated the building back to the end of 1400 . It has undergone many changes over time: It belonged to the clergy twice before being redeemed by the lords of the time.
In the course of working in the garden, they were found some flasks, tubes, parts of a still and many other items that clearly belonged to an alchemist of the time. It is no coincidence that Paracelsus, one of the greatest scholars of alchemy and medicine as well as an astrology "expert", graduated in Ferrara in 1515.
Some of the finds and a map dated 1785 are actually displayed in our showroom.
