Il Bosco in una Serra” is an exhibition project dedicated to the rebirth of nature, to the need for a more sustainable life expressed through the art of photography, sculpture and cuisine of excellence.

Two Artists, two Galleries, three exhibition venues.
A widespread exhibition in the Valdelsa area: a journey through winter gardens, woods, trees and suggestive abandoned greenhouses; Nicola Bertellotti’s photographs in dialogue with Hermann Josef Runggaldier’s sculptures interpret this theme that has always been dear to them.
Designed by SensiArte Galleria, iSculpture and Arnolfo, the exhibition will be held in Colle di Val d’Elsa and San Gimignano, in the three respective locations.

A work by Nicola Bertellotti will connect with the sculptures of Hermann Joseph Runggaldier at iSculpture Gallery in San Gimignano while a work of the Sculptor will dialogue with Nicola Bertellotti’s photographs at Sensi Arte in Colle Val d’Elsa.

Arnolfo Restaurant will be also involved in the continuation of the exhibition, hosting some of the art works in the wonderful setting of its new and recently opened Venue in Colle di Val d’Elsa.

The exhibition will be on view from September the 10th to September the 30th, 2022, as follows:

Gerald Moroder: Atmosfera

Click to enlarge

After several years since the first exhibition dedicated to Gerald Moroder, ISculpture Gallery is pleased to rpesent "Atmosfera" that will be held in the venue of San Gimignano.

The artistic production in Gerald Moroder is a slow and meticulous process of inner investigation. His technique is primordial. His colors are not pigments, but the very force of nature: the porphyry, first love and material of choice, then the terracotta bricks, and even the Terra di Siena, his latest discovery and yet in the phase of falling in love, up to asphalt.

Gerald always amazes us, every meeting in his atelier is an exciting journey into his inner world. He is able to innovate his art, both from an aesthetic and formal point of view, while maintaining its peculiarities. He is linked in a pure and intrinsic way to the culture of the "Botteghe" (workshops), in the fourteenth-century meaning of the term and still alive in the Val Gardena ateliers. Gerald is the contemporary “Apothecary”: he researches the materials, investigates their characteristics, reduces them to powder and mixes them until he obtains his formula. And like the painters of the 14th century, Gerald has returned to "paint" on large formats, which allow him to work slowly and intimately. His investigation is aimed at the surrounding environment, at all the noise of the world that hits us. But only Gerald could transform this chaos into pure and rarefied atmospheres, where his primordial man managed to rise and look beyond. A human being present only on the top of the totem-columns, has reached the peaks of the Dolomites and now looks into the distance, in search of new horizons. Each panel is an inner journey, it is a spiritual and pure cocoon. His columns are an invitation to go further, to investigate the surrounding world with detachment and rarefaction as from the heights of its mountains.

In these new works, the informal search for shades and colors takes precedence over the investigation within the human figure which in its very absence becomes essence.

ISculpture Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Nuda Pietra” by Georg Viktor, that will be held at the headquarters in San Gimignano (SI). The Catalogue, bringing the text of Patrick Pii will be available at the opening. “Viktor links up to a classicism in which the portrayals of eroticism and the sexual act were much more than merely accepted, being propitiatory to fertility, related to practices of worship or, more simply, descriptive of everyday habits. (…)Viktor, like many other great modern and contemporary artists, aims to overcome the limits. The material used is almost always diaphanously and harmoniously white Carrara marble, emphasising the purity within us all, along with trouble and restlessness, with which it contrasts.”
Solo Exhibition: iSculpture Art Gallery San Gimignano | September 23rd – October 14th, 2016
Opening on September 23rd at 6.00 p.m. with the presence of the artist.

Gerald Moroder: Soul - iSculpture Gallery San Gimignano

Click to enlarge
Following his first exhibition in 2014, iSculpture Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition "Soul" by Gerald Moroder: nine new works - small and large sculptures and sculptural panels - realized between 2016 and 2017.
The title Soul highlights the theme that runs through his work, so that the layout of the exhibition is crossed by a vital tension and an innate yearning turned to a spiritual dimension. His human figures, emaciated and essential in form, are stretched outward looking, looking for a way, a revelation. They are images of human essence, timeless figures, devoid of characteristics that connect to a space and an era, are archaic contemporaries. He comes from Val Gardena and yet he is not tied to the wood carving tradition of his valley; in fact, he works with a mixture of sand, iron and porphyry stone – materials that, in themselves, maintain history. Even the material has embarked on its own exploration: It consists of particles, becomes stratified and oxidizes thus abandoning part of itself in order to welcome the new.

Wilhelm Heiliger: Journey into synthesis

Click to enlarge

Solo Exhibition: iSculpture Art Gallery San Gimignano | September 29th – October 30th, 2016


The relationship between shape and colour is the foundation of the history of art, during which it undergoes changes and analyses of every kind. From the classical age to the present day, we have witnessed the elaboration of various artistic perspectives, but they have always outlined a relationship of strict subordination of colour to shape. It is essential to ensure the comprehension of a certain type of message and, in this sense, colour is used almost to merely fill in the shape which provides the outlines. Colour is essentially assigned the role of dictating depth, softness or transparency, and of emphasising the aesthetic sense of artists and their work. With artists like Rothko and Pollock, or even earlier with the impressionists, we witness the attempt to make colour the true protagonist of the expressive medium, assigning it a central role in the composition, trying to detach it from the usual sense of shape. The colour palette is broken down and analysed in the tiniest detail, with a view to generating grace and balance. But would this balance continue to exist without shape? The answer lies in the consideration that however colour is used, every time it is applied to any surface, it generates a mark or a shape, albeit abstract. Its dimension and position in relation to other colours create the final result and together they determine the visual and aesthetic balance, or otherwise. In the works of Wilhelm Heiliger, we see a summary of these concepts, where photographic detail, a subject which is absolutely visible in objective reality, becomes shape, and digital chromatic processing accentuates or dissimulates the contours, to the point where it can even eliminate them, conveying new meanings and suggestions to the image every time. A roof becomes a dividing line with the blue sky, a shell, a flash of light, merging into abstractions which allow subjective poetic interpretations. In this sense, the concept of “shape” is dramatically changed in Heiliger’s works. It is no longer a container, a contour which fixes a somehow pre-existing content and makes it perceivable and transmissible. It opposes the absence of form and circumscribes void. This battle does not, however, consist in a suppression of antagonistic power – this can only happen in mediocre and definitively pacified art. In the authentic work of art, language does not abolish – it includes the non-language or the shapeless. iSculpture Gallery is pleased to offer its spaces to Wilhelm’s real yet fantastic works. We could ask ourselves what induces a gallery which deals exclusively with sculptures to present works that are apparently so far-removed from its usual proposal. The answer to this question lies in the desire to emphasise the importance of the relationship between shape and colour, concepts which are an absolute part of sculpture. The gallery also wants to open up to other forms of expression, to which alternative projects will be regularly dedicated in the future, highlighting once again the absolute non-existence of boundaries to beauty and art.

Mariano Fuga: Risalita

Click to enlarge

Solo Exhibition: iSculpture Art Gallery San Gimignano | September 26th – October 18th, 2015

iSculpture Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition "Risalita/Resurgence" by Mariano Fuga, that will be held at the headquarters in San Gimignano (SI). The Catalogue, bringing the text of Nico Stringa, Professor of Contemporary Art History at the University Ca 'Foscari in Venice, will be presented during the opening. With the new artistic project Resurgence, the "Figures" by Fuga are no longer individual actors, but face and engage with the world around them, as expressed through spherical and hemispherical shapes, either concave or convex. The "Excercises of Resurgence", title of the works bearing witness different stages of moments of life, are, as Prof. Stringa underlines," Acrobats in love with space and colour; unprecedented colours, as far as I know, in Italian contemporary ceramics; and spaces, just as new, despite being under the eyes of all " Unlike the series of "Theatres" at the end of the nineties, where the legacy of traditional folk pottery is exasperated by the gestures of the characters that boxes them in perspective rigor of the off-stage, in these new creations by Mariano, we can feel the desire for new experiments. And also different from previous works, such as "Divers" or "Flyers", Resurgence has had the courage to face the search for a relationship between form and space, volumes and colors and, therefore, to give a space, that is no more forcing and limiting his figures. Moreover, "Bricks" and "Columns" with figures could not be missing in the exhibition, with the whistles belonging to the tradition of the Venetian Cuchi, of which Mariano is considered one of the representatives. At the same time you can visit the installation of five "Columns", as part of "Sculptures for a scene of Art", on display in the beautiful setting of the Castello di Casole in Casole d'Elsa (Siena). Opening on September 26th at 6.00 p.m. with the presence of the artist.

Sculptures for a Scenery of Art

Click to enlarge
Sculptures for a Scenery of Art is the result of a collaboration between Hotel Castello di Casole and iSculpture Gallery, San Gimignano & Casole d’Elsa.
Our aim is to pay homage to a landscape that is a work of art itself for its beauty and tradition, through a course of six contemporary art installations by six different Italian artists.
The gardens of the Hotel Castello di Casole thus become a place of interaction between contemporary sculpture and the many breathtaking views that the care and the Tuscan centuries-old tradition contributed to transmit in its uniqueness.
The area surrounding the hotel has among other things greatly benefited from the recently completed Hotel restructuring, through the recovery of many rural properties and the impulse to quality agriculture.
Each year the event will allow the participation of various Italian artists with the intent to provide a varied and changing artistic proposal. This first edition involves the works of the following artists: Patrick Alò, Davide Dall’Osso, Mariano Fuga, Ivan Lardschneider, Gerald Moroder, Sergio Rubini.

Mens Sana in Corpore Sano - A group exhibition at Castello di Casole

Click to enlarge
iSculpture Gallery and Castello di Casole invite you to enjoy an event the will lead you to discover how the idea of beauty, related to balance and shapes changed through the centuries.
We have talked about beauty in every century, but depending on the era, despite the arithmetic and geometric principles that were asserted, its interpretation and representation have always been changing. The people who knew how to raise the care of the body to eternal symbol of his unquestionable and aristocratic charm is the Etruscan: thermal baths, perfumes, ointments, medicinal herbs and cosmetics art with its fairy tools. The powerful Etruscan women who, despised by the Greeks and the Romans, were held in esteem by the family of which they were the focus, they pulled the strings of politics, tickling the ambitions and, when necessary, were driving the chariot. This is also reflected in the artistic production, in fact in the Etruscan sculpture we notice a total absence of formal research. It has no value in itself as a work of art, but that is for the practical meaning that you want to give. The Etruscans were famous amongst their contemporaries for their bronze sculptures and a great attention to the quality and technical production of their works. The thin and dematerialized sculptures of Gerald Moroder are a perfect synthesis of everything. With his research on materials, the earth, the stone, the mixture of wood, the sculptor wants to experience each time differently, pervaded by the moods that he can pick up in nature. The beauty of forms becomes later, again in the Etruscan culture, something that shows the inner world, the strength and inner characteristics. And the intent is clear, with its social importance; the sculptor wanted to give form to both inner and outer conflicts which, every day, were suffered by women. Women with a soul full of intricate feelings and hidden desires, but strong dreamers who struggle and strive to add value to the society: we find these characteristics in the Warrior-Women by Sergio Rubini. Witness of our time, the story told by the artist is old and yet inexorably present. In a totally opposite to that of the Etruscans, the Classical Greek Woman was totally subservient to man. When she reached the age to marry, she passed from the father’ authority to that of her husband. The male body was considered much more erotic, sensual, graceful, and was elevated to a model of harmony and perfect proportions. Despite of this. even the female body seen through Greek art was of great beauty and harmony, with perfect proportions and good samples can be seen in the many depictions of girls at a young age or beautiful goddesses with mature bodies depicting love (Venus). The same search for beauty, understood as the search for the perfect proportions, is found in all artistic production of Georg Victor. His bodies, made of Carrara marble, are the synthesis of the perfection existing in nature. His figures are a tribute to beauty, the bodies he shapes become “The Angels of Beauty”, although fragmentary, as if they had just returned to light after a long and arduous excavation. Seeking for the interpretation of Beauty through the ages, understood as a proportion of the forms, we come to neoclassicism, of which Canova is its ultimate expression. The constant artistic production is a degree of perfection, according to which, beauty lies in the proportion of the parts. The aim of the artist is to achieve the ideal beauty to which we can get through the imitation of classical sculpture. We find the same approach in the work of sculptor Smail Zizi. His works represent women, carved in white Carrara marble, pink from Portugal and black from Belgium, representing the female universe with great precision. His search for Ideal Beauty, that is a perfect combination of human and divine, can only come from a greater control of passions and senses. Same is the approach of Simona Ragazzi, but with a completely contemporary point of view and interpretation. The body made by the artist is fake. it is the sum of classical perfection combined with the contemporary plastic surgery. This kind of research leads her to transform the body into a consumer product, and as such, she inserts a bar code in the lower part of her sculptures.

Meet Art - Feed Art, My Tuscan Experience

Click to enlarge
Arte a Colori Gallery and iSculpture Gallery are glad to present My Tuscan Experience –Meet Art Feed Art Collective exhibition : Arte a Colori (Colle Val d'Elsa) 4-18 October 2014 Collective exhibition: iSculpture Gallery (San Gimignano) 5-18 October 2014 A work of art transmits and expresses messages and feelings, almost always by itself, without the presence of its author next to it. But knowing the genesis of the artwork (whose hands created it? which thoughts originated it?) is a special experience, and in our case even a social experience. It's an experience we have proposed through a series of meetings taking shape in the collective exhibition Feed Art_Meet Art. Organised under the High Patronage of the Italian Republic, of the European Union and of the Region of Tuscany, the project ''My Tuscan Experience'', of which this exhibition is the final act, has involved five high quality tourist accomodations, two young and lively art galleries, 14 Tuscan artists: a common event and a project created for a selected audience choosing Val d'Elsa as its aim, with all its quality aspects.
There is a second theme and a leitmotiv in this exhibition: the dictionary of the words used by the artists to describe their work, that has united and sometimes divided the description of the works of art. The instinctive translations of the words into the different languages spoken by the people who were present, is an act to show that art does not need google-translation and perfectionism, but it needs to find itself within its group and its social background. Each artist has a verbal tag*: a list of terms and expressions allowing us to write down the different ways of saying belonging to the foreign guests, and which has an interest in giving the work of art ''created in Tuscany'' a non-provincial understanding and interpretation.
The hotels: RelaisdellaRovere, Sovestro, Villa San Lucchese, Bel Soggiorno have made their rooms and their professionality available for a warm welcome, and the artists of the different Galleries have made it special to exchange visaual and verbal contacts, firstly taking part in the conversation and in the research.
In the Galleries Francesca Sensi Arte a Colori (Colle Val d'Elsa) and iSculpture (San Gimignano) these artists' works of art will be shown from October4st 2014: Elisa Bertaglia, Nicola Bertellotti, Matteo Cocci, Susan Leyland, Marco Manzella, Alessandro Reggioli, TommasoSantucci, Mariano Fuga, Marco Cipolli, Irene Giannaccini, FabrizioLucchesi, Alessandro Marzetti, Simona Ragazzi and the tagged words, working as an international ''didascalic tour'' of the presented artwork. Meet Art_Feed Artis a collective exhibition conceived for enhancing Tuscan excellencies and it represents the start of a new project called ''Experential Tourism''.

Beyond Time - Findings of the XXI Century A.D.

Click to enlarge
Simona Ragazzi: Beyond Time Solo Exhibition: iSculpture Art Gallery Casoled’Elsa | September 20th – October 4th, 2014 Meet Art-Feed Art with Simona Ragazzi | September 19th, 2014 After two years since the first exhibition dedicated to Simona Ragazzi, iSculpture Gallery is pleased to present “Beyond Time. Finds of the twenty-first Century A.D.” that will be held at the new venue of Casoled’Elsa. From the reflection on the concept of duality, on the introspective dimension and the outward appearance that characterized the 2012 exhibition, titled “In & Out“, the artist now turns her attention to the analysis of certain archetypes of our globalized civilization.
The “findings” suggest attention and “love” for life: in particular those directly related to the daily dimension such as “Testa di ragazza” or “Scriba” heir to the thousand-year old Mediterranean tradition that has its roots in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
These art works by Simona Ragazzi are the mirror of a great vital and creative force. Made of different materials, from clay to bronze, they enclose a language rich of explicit iconographic citations. The Bolognese artist has developed an important work of semiotic research on the current art and culture. In fact, the works trace a direct line between the contemporary figurative codes and the archaic cultural elements by meditating on the relationship between past, present and future and by providing suggestions, readings and new narratives. These new archaeological works of Ragazzi reveal a high conceptual and communicative profile which intertwines the dimensions of time and space with sensitivity and humor. In order to present the new artistic project even in the historic setting of San Gimignano, we have included a meeting with Simona Ragazzi in the project “Meet Art-Feed Art“, patronized by the Tuscan Region and the European Union. The event will take place September 19th at the Hotel Bel Soggiorno in San Gimignano and the theme will be “The ceramic vocabulary“.
Opening at iSculpture Gallery – Casoled’Elsa (SI): Saturday September 20th at 6.30 p.m.
Aperitif with the artist “Meet Art – Feed Art” at the Hotel Bel Soggiorno – San Gimignano (SI):

Lo Spazio dell'Essere

Click to enlarge
iSculpture Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Gerald Moroder "Lo spaziodell'Essere"(The Space of Being) which will be held at its venue in San Gimignano (SI). An exhibition Catalogue will be printed by the gallery. At the same time, two site specific installations will be presented at Castello di Casole (Siena) with the titles of "Eccomi !" and "Guardareoltre". The new art project by Gerald Moroder (Milan, 1972), "The Space of Being", arises as a starting point for a new design research, totally addressed to the exaltation of matter, by undertaking a so different and more radical research than in the past. Ever since Gerald Moroder’s figures feel the need to become essential, to transcend until dematerializing and being mere spirit. Its lines, carved first in wood and later formed in a porphyry mass, despite gravity of the material, seem to dance, wandering aimlessly or freeing themselves in the air, bowing backwards in order to cover an indefinite space. With "The Space of Being", the sculptor leaves its curved or slender human figure, distinctive of its production, but it continues to live there as the breath of life, nearly celestial. It’s the material and the most sublime concept of Being to characterize Gerald Moroder’s poetic and source of inspiration. The panels presented in the exhibition represent a meditation on time and space modulated in plastic terms. The eroded and scratched surfaces, with concave accents and sharp cuts, represent a profound reflection on the separation of private and figuration. They are essential in their complexity, they are figurative in terms of pure abstraction, they are starry nights, branches that are intertwined withgrass blades. In order to propose a more careful and a wide-ranging reading of his artistic production, the works for the site specific installation at the beautiful setting of the Castello di Casole (Siena) were chosen from the triptych "GuardareOltre" and "Eccomi!". These works represent the culmination of years of research, both material and stylistic, as the Art Critic Chiara Canali highlights: "In an ideal circular vortex, the lean and long-limbed figures modeled by the artist are the same man caught in different stages of dematerialization that wants to arrive at a form of levity, fade, intangibility of the being. " Again it’s the material which unites two apparently distinct productions.The material represents the artist’s binding to the own region from the initial use of wood in the local tradition to the porphyry, the rock of his mountains. Through these ancient materials he is determined to find a configuration that matches the sense of a break with the world, or a wound, or a laceration with the existing to be bridged with a hug. Opening at the Hotel Castello di Casole (SI): Friday, September 5th at 6.30 p.m. Presentation of the Solo Exhibition at iSculpture Gallery San Gimignano (SI): Saturday September 6th at 6.30 p.m.

A Child's Play

Click to enlarge
iSculpture Art Gallery is proud to announce the Solo Exhibition A Child's Play by Ivan Lardschneider. Simultaneously, the site specific installation "A Fallen Angel on Earth" will be displayed at the Hotel Castello di Casole. ( www.castellodicasole.com) Ivan Lardschneider, a young sculptor, has shown his works in various events, in and out European borders. Rhode Island, Miami, Berlin and Paris are among his latest exhibiting locations, beneath his attendance to the 54° Biennale di Venezia. This is time for Tuscany, between San Gimignano and Casole d'Elsa. This is going to be the setting chosen to present his latest works and the catalogue "A Child's Play". As the first apprentice of Aron Demetz, he started his career on the figurative path so clearly preferred by Valpot and then turned to his original and recognizable style. Linden wood is his medium, the same of the Gardenese tradition, the one used for the religious sculptures in our churches, rediscovered with a new and unique artistic syntax. Telling about his works means to have the privilege to go back to that childhood and candid condition, simple and uncontaminated that taught us to call things with their names, to transcend the constructed language e to make it pure again. Lardschneider allows us to return to the primordial sense of this communication because he uses a simple and intuitive language. His figure is linear and absolute, is each one of us and it needs no more than our daily gestures. The high point of his new production is " A Fallen Angel on Earth", exhibited in the wonderful setting of the Castello di Casole (Siena), where Ivan's typical character becomes an Angel precipitated among us. Our cultural and religious superstructures lead us to think that his exile is a form of punishment. But, and this is where Ivan's works intensity plays, we have to annul our knowledge, free our mind to look at his works with the eyes of a child, immune to prejudice.

Davide Dall’Osso: The Colours of Transparency

Click to enlarge
iSculpture Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new sculptures by Davide Dall’Osso. The Colours of Transparency will be on view from September 19 through October 6, 2013, with an opening reception Thursday, September 19, from 6:00 – 8:30 pm. Davide Dall’Osso will have a site specific installation at Castello di Casole entitled Dancing Transparencies, with an opening reception Tuesday, September 17, from 6:00 – 8:30 pm. Polycarbonate is the material chosen by Davide Dall’Osso: a waste and poor material, but ennobled by the manipulations of the Artist. The sculptures of the series “Against the Wind“, the busts as well as the entire figures, core of the show The Colours of Transparency, seem to crystallize ancestral movements. In these works we read the canons of “beauty” according to the artist: from the faces of the classical period to the early style baroque drapery, as far as the interactions between the plastic arts and theater performances. The visual memory of the artist, so attentive and receptive, finds full expression in his works but its peculiarity lies in what the eye cannot see. The empty and full spaces, colors and transparencies, suggest the “non-limit” of his sculpture, an artistic performance in constant being but devoid of the human presence. Light is an integral part of this continuous changing, the play of shadows is the vital element of the sculptures of Davide Dall’Osso. The fusion of polycarbonates allows him to produce suspended works of different sizes, with transparency and lightness that refer to ice and molten glass. The Site Specific Installation Dancing Transparencies comes from the fusion of these elements, where female figures, characterized by fluid forms and transparencies of matter, vibrate in unison with the acacia leaves moved by the wind. But it is not just a movement in the air, a shudder through the skin of those who dwell for a moment, the intensity is generated by transparent creatures that seem to stem from a double dance of movement and stasis, always oscillating between energy, strength and movement.

In & oUT... Skin

Click to enlarge
The Solo Exhibition by the Artist Simona Ragazzi is going to be opened on next October 20th, at the Contemporary Art Gallery iSculpture based in San Gimignano. IN & OUT…..skin. Sculpture and emotions are the protagonists of this exhibition by Simona Ragazzi. Faces and figures, perfectly shaped on sheets of clay come to life, telling and interacting with the viewer, revealing the inner side and emotional feelings of man, where fear, serenity, anger, ecstasy are no longer private emotions of which have modesty, but become the main character of an inner and outer beauty that will become a work of art. “Private notes”, “Hurt”, are some titles of her works; sculptures in which each of us can reflect or empathize. Almost a timeless self-portrait of our emotions, delicate and foreboding, revealing how our sensitivity cannot be calculated or suppressed by evolution or by a cold society in which we often get lost and that does not give us space or place to live them. Man is always subject and constant stimulus, never failing to tell his story, since the rupestrian carvings. Through the hands of a cultured artist like Simona, the human being fascinates us, giving emotions and moments of life. A reflection on the concept of duality, of introspective dimension and exteriority, inclusion or exclusion, opening or border of relationships with others… the continuing search for a dimension in which we have to find our own balance, where we can live our IN and OUT.

Ov-Azione

Click to enlarge
The Solo Exhibition by the Tuscan Artist Marco Cipolli is going to be opened on next June 2nd, at the Contemporary Art Gallery iSculpture based in San Gimignano ”Ov-Action”, this is the title of the exhibition, comes to its second edition, after the one just closed with great success at the Museum of San Casciano Val di Pesa. The exhibition represents the main event organized by the Center for the Arts San Gimignano1300 to celebrate the “Day of the Italian Republic”, honoring an Italian artist who in his 30 year career has contributed to export abroad a positive image of our country. The works, all made on ceramic supports with ovoid shape, highlight once again the remarkable versatility of an Artist who offers his unique style to the most diverse materials, a quality proper of those who see the world with wonder. Marco Cipolli says that “at my 55 years should be the pleasure of doing, the aesthetic sense and intuition of the moment to win”; in this sense his creations come to life, giving priority, with irony, to a beauty inherent in sinuous shapes and in the joyfulness of colors. This is the way the art enriches itself with aesthetic, once again inspired and made undeniable by the geometries and shapes proper of the natural world. The exhibition will be open everyday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. until the 16th of june.
