More Than Just the Twelve Labours\u2026<\/h3><\/div>

This striking monument honours Giuseppe Piermarini, the famous architect from Foligno who designed Milan\u2019s Teatro alla Scala. Hercules, the Greek hero, symbolises not only physical strength but also intellectual ingenuity\u2014a fitting tribute to Piermarini and the resilience of Foligno\u2019s people after the bombing that destroyed the Apollo Theatre, which once stood in this square.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The bronze decorations at the base of the sculpture weave together classical mythology and Piermarini\u2019s legacy. Pausing at this statue invites reflection on how culture and creativity leave an enduring mark on history.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Patinated bronze bas-relief<\/em>
\ncm 55×55<\/em><\/p>\n

The work consists of a bas-relief in patinated bronze with the highlighting of some shiny elements in which the plastic language is combined with the expressive force of the gesture.
\nThe colour of the patina restores an ancestral energy enriched by the symbolic value of the iridescent relief elements, which contrast with the background and hint at a transition from right to left, leaving on the material linear marks in relief that intersect with each other like water trails left by fish swimming on the surface of a body of water.
\nSo I thought of combining the expressive power of matter, which manifests itself with a laceration, and water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
