Primi Passi, 2009
Corten steel, 805x1300x40 cm
SR68 Km c/o Tenuta MonteRosola Winery, Volterra
The work, which was originally located in Piancorboli, was moved to Tenuta MonteRosola due to landslide problems.
Piancorboli was linked to the artist’s childhood memories. The large corten steel ellipse that framed the panorama from the ancient contrada of Montebradoni – the village where Staccioli lived until he came of age – to the Balze, from the church of San Giusto to the outline of Volterra, defined a kind of perspective telescope that in the foreground revealed a long abandoned farmhouse, the home of his maternal grandparents, the scene of his first steps and his first approach to the Tuscan farming tradition.
