“The permanent installation in Brufa, a small town in the hills between Perugia and Assisi, consists of three steel and brick semi-circles which mark out a space for a possible relationship with the place, its history and morphology, which, as we have seen, has been the central motif of Staccioli’s work right from the start, finds stimuli here ehich have biographical connections: “the piles […] certanly come from some residue of my adolescence spent in the conutryside, the arts and crafts of farm workers, the formal beauty of haystacks or sheaths on a threshing floor”.
