Biltmore will host the world premiere of the latest multi-sensory experience created and produced by Grande Experiences, Italian Renaissance Alive. The exhibition spans the Renaissance period of the 14th to 17th centuries, immersing its audience in the architecture, sculpture, literature, and other artistic and cultural influences of this movement in European history.


The Renaissance brought cultural, artistic, political and economic rebirth to Europe following the Middle Ages and the fall of the Roman Empire. Out of the darkness emerged a new vision of civilization that was portrayed on canvas, in fresco and in sculpture throughout Italy.


Using large-scale projections of great beauty and detail, hundreds of masterpieces from some of the world’s most revered Italian artists and sculptors surround visitors in the brilliance of one of the greatest artistic periods in history.


Light, color, sound and fragrance are choreographed in this multi-sensory experience to explore Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, and other works by Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian, and Veronese among others. A powerful Italian operatic score will accompany the immersive visuals, including the musical works of Puccini

and Verdi.


“We are delighted that the world premiere of this exceptional experience will be at Biltmore. Italian Renaissance Alive will offer visitors of all ages and backgrounds an entertaining, educational and enlightening experience, whether they are art and history aficionados or exploring the Italian Renaissance for the first time,” said Bruce Peterson, owner and founder of Grande Experiences.
