Palazzo Avino’s lavish property, which once served as a private villa for an Italian noble family, is a glamorous getaway off the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Guests of the hotel are welcomed to an intimate paradise tucked into the hilltop village of Ravello—overlooking views of the Mediterranean—where they can stay in one of the 33 individual rooms and 10 suites.
One of the central pillars for owners Mariella and Attila Avino is to foster community among guests and the Ravello community alike, which is symbolized through their Artist in Residency series and their participation in the annual Ravello Festival.
Palazzo Avino has hosted the Artist in Residency program since 2010, striving to nurture artistic creativity in the Ravello community. This past summer, guests and locals had the opportunity to view “Photographic Notes: Underground History” by Marco Gualazzini, featuring a curated selection of 32 photographs depicting conflict and humanitarian crises, at Caffe dell’Arte. The exhibit aimed to invoke an emotional and reflective experience.
The House Collective.
The House Collective by Swire Hotels is a group of refined, highly individual properties that defy comparison. Each uniquely imagined, The Opposite House in Beijing, The Upper House in Hong Kong, The Temple House in Chengdu and The Middle House in Shanghai were designed for seasoned travelers who seek a different, intimate and personalized experience in luxury travel.
The House Collective’s third iteration of its biennial program, “Encounters Across Cultures,” celebrates the immeasurable creativity fostered through multicultural and multidisciplinary collaboration. This year’s program explores the intersection of technology and the creative arts through four multi-sensory experiences inspired by biometric data captured during journeys across four cities. “Encounters Across Cultures” will open at The Upper House in Hong Kong, then travel to The Middle House, The Temple House and The Opposite House.
Creating a tangible journey for audiences, “Encounters Across Cultures” weaves together all of these stories to create four musical pieces and data sculptures, designed with soundscape recordings of the musicians’ movements and biometric data, such as pulse and skin resistance. The four Houses will host the installations, capturing these private journeys in one shared experience for visitors. The journey begins in October and continues until January, with specific dates for each location.
