Nellimya Arthouse

Free entry

We are located in Aranno, nestled within the lush Malcantone forests of Switzerland.

After seven years of exhibitions at the historic Federal Building on Piazza Riforma in Lugano, the sale of that property prompted our relocation. This inspired us to design our new exhibition and residential space here, guided by the harmonic principles of the Golden Ratio.

This multifunctional space is dedicated to light art, immaterial and spiritual art, experimentation, and land art.

The house serves as an Artists' Residence four times a year and periodically hosts collegial exchange dinners and workshops. Nellimya also serves as the registered office for two non-profit associations: ALA Aranno LandArt, which focuses on art and leisure culture, and, in collaboration with us, develops the vitART Parcours itineraries in Malcantone; and Rosa delle Donne. Last but not least, it is also the cherished home of the Antonelli family: artist Mya Lurgo, architect and real estate expert Omar Antonelli, and their sons, Leonardo and Gregorio, not forgetting their dogs, Sophia and Zen.
