All the structures blend perfectly into nature, their presence is almost imperceptible, imposing and slender they rise towards the sky for tens of metres, blending in with the trees. The works are made of iron, copper, bronze, stone or wood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The history of the garden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The name &#8220;Garden of Sounds&#8221; derives from the sculptor&#8217;s first works, created in the 1980s with the particularity, when touched by the wind, of emitting more or less intense sounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The garden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scattered throughout the 2 hectares of the park, the works of the brilliant sculpture artist Paul Fuchs are extraordinary, imposing but at the same time light and sinuous.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most important works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the Great Indicator, created in Berlin in 1996<\/li>\n<li>the Wind Spiral, built in Memmingen in 2004<\/li>\n<li>High B, made in Munich in 1995<\/li>\n<li>Sign in the Wind, made in Moers in 2000<\/li>\n<li>the Lens, created in Grimma in 2002<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The itinerary ends at the House Museum where there is a collection of miniatures of the sculptures in the garden and where Paul Fuchs himself welcomes visitors by improvising melodies with a lithophone he created. The museum also houses a music room, with instruments made by the artist himself with different materials.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d82dd7\" data-id=\"7d82dd7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-23fb2f1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"23fb2f1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0267d6b\" data-id=\"0267d6b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9980237 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9980237\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">info<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eeea3ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eeea3ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"emoji\">Podere Pianuglioli, Boccheggiano \u2013 Montieri GR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fl r-iNIAuAhJQ898\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" data-number=\"+390564620532\" data-pstn-out-call-url=\"\" data-rtid=\"iNIAuAhJQ898\" data-ved=\"0ahUKEwivw5SEn9fVAhWKI8AKHdfAAkgQkAgImwEoADAT\"><span class=\"emoji\"> <\/span><\/a><span class=\"emoji\">+39 0566 998221<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"emoji\">www.paulfuchs.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"emoji\">Free admission<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The garden can be visited exclusively by reservation Tel. 0566998221<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garden of Sounds by Paul Fuchs In the Maremma countryside of Boccheggiano, a small fraction of Montieri, in the province of Grosseto, near Massa Marittima, is the Garden of Sounds by Paul Fuchs.
