The FAI - Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano ETS presents La condizione del desiderio (The Condition of Desire), a project- room by Arcangelo Sassolino, which inaugurates at the Villa and Collezione Panza a new cycle of exhibitions with site-specific works that will invite the public to engage with the languages of artists already intercepted by Panza or similar to the collector in terms of sensitivity, themes and visions aimed at generating new suggestions and further dialogues with the works in the permanent collection.

Curated by Angela Vettese, from 25 October to 23 February 2025, in the exhibition, in the evocative setting of the Scuderia Grande, Arcangelo Sassolino presents a monumental installation that stems from a close dialogue between art and science, crucial themes in the artist's research and at the centre of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo's investigations as seen in the exhibition Nel Tempo. Works from the Panza Collection, still in progress at Villa Panza, which presents works by authors from Fogliati to Mochetti to Walter de Maria that take the form of an investigation into the interaction between invisible forces and the physical world.

The work, entitled The Condition of Desire (2009 - 2024), is an imposing structure conceived by the artist in 2009 for the Z33 space in Hasselt, Belgium, which at Villa Panza finds a new configuration and an ideal location in the Scuderia Grande of the Villa.
