Portale, 2009

Corten Steel, 1000x805x55 cm
Fattoria di Lischeto, SP del Monte Volterrano

Looking at the Portale from the alley that leads to the Lischeto farm, you can glimpse from afar the ellipse installed in Piancorboli. Both sculptures, with their constant exchange of glances, ideally retrace the steps of the peasants who used to go from the Persignano estate to the farm where their whole harvest was collected. If you look at them closely, the large “compasses”, poised on their sharp points, reveal themselves in all their  imposing presence, tuning into both a welcoming and solemn threshold that leads into the memory of some of the most significant episodes in the artist’s life.
