DIANA 6 s.r.l.

Diana 6 S.r.l. has been the owner of the Villa Asquer complex since 1979, the year when its general manager, Francesco Morelli, purchased the estate. Through Diana 6, the latter, who was also the founder of the European Institute of Design (IED – Istituto Europeo di Design), oversaw the ongoing enhancement of Villa Asquer for forty years.

Diana 6 and the Francesco Morelli Foundation have embraced the legacy of the former entrepreneur, continuing to honor its core values:

  • Consistency of principles
  • Continuity over time
  • Ethics of the purpose

Visitor rules

The place that you have come to visit is a private, environmentally-protected park. It is the outcome of the vision of the founder, Francesco Morelli, shaped by forty years of planning and creative ingenuity. The park is maintained every day by specialized staff, dedicated to preserving the well-being and integrity of every botanical, artistic, and architectural part.

The constant upkeep of the park is aimed at ensuring its features remain unchanged, where possible, in order to preserve the peace and biorhythm of the plant and animal life. The work carried out has been designed to minimize any disturbance to the ecosystem and limit any man-made impact. Vehicle movement is kept to the bare minimum required to carry out maintenance work.

For this reason, we request that visitors to the park help us to respect its nature and cooperate in its upkeep to preserve its beauty.

To ensure the safety of visitors, places and environmental protection, you are requested to observe the following rules:

  • Do not wander around the park unless accompanied by authorized personnel.

  • Do not enter restricted areas or where access is not expressly permitted.

  • Do not cross the barriers placed around the ponds for your safety.

  • Take care when walking down slopes or steps, as they may be slippery.

  • Respect plant species. Do not pick fruit or flowers.

  • Respect and enforce respect for park property (furniture, sculptures, buildings).

  • Do not smoke: smoking is not permitted anywhere.

  • Do not litter.

  • Do not bring dogs into the park: they are prohibited throughout the area, with no exceptions.

“Over the years when Francesco Morelli oversaw its planing and building, the site became a place whose ultimate goal is to create harmony, generating positive feelings and lifting spirits.”

IN SHORT

“Over the years, the priority was always to create a place of beauty rather than following the principles of speculation or economy. ”

A PLACE OF BEAUTY

“Choosing to incorporate nature into the project made time and continuous care non-negotiable elements.”
