Corbano 2009
Corbano 2009, red plaster, 302x219x6 cm
Chiesa di Santa Lucia a Corbano, Volterra
The ruins of the pre-Romanesque church of Santa Lucia in Corbano prompted the creation of a sign for this small building at the mercy of the elements and destined to disappear. The sculpture in this case becomes a resolute gesture against neglect, communicating the artist’s regret as he assesses the consequences of time and carelessness. From this wooden prototype Staccioli made a sculpture of the same dimensions in corten steel, which is now located inside the Oratory of the Crucifix home of the Museum Archives.
