Carlotta, or Lollo, lived a life dedicated to art, education, and the environment. Her tenure was one of hospitality, dialogue, and creation, and her charisma, wit, and intellect — as much as her kindness, generosity and enthusiasm — came to define the palazzo. Now to be reimagined and carried forth by her granddaughter, Sophie Strobele, the house has become Casa Carlotta in her grandmother’s memory, the beginning of a new chapter.
Art historian and professor Charlotte Strobele hosted an abundance of artists and exhibitions at the palazzo, her home, beginning in the 1970s. Here, in a picturesque village in the Italian Alps, she nurtured an international community in harmony with a local one. In 1986, she co-founded the land art collective, ARTE SELLA , a now renowned institution for sustainable and ephemeral art and architecture.
Casa Carlotta is a non-profit association made with the intent to archive, maintain, and further the legacy of Charlotte Strobele and all that she stood for. Our activities are grounded in the continuation of her activity across generations, building upon the dreams and visions she planted, as well as the history of this home. We work towards imagining and living out, as she had throughout her life, forms of non-violence, sustainable ecology, preservation of local culture, and community with the vision of a broader and international network of political solidarity without borders.
