Volterra

“Museums Exhibitions” from September 13th till November 8th 2009

“Site Installations” from September 2009 till September 2010

Mauro Staccioli is an Italian contemporary “minimalist” sculptor.

His monumental operas are realized with grey or brow concrete, steel and marble.

His “fare arte” (art making) main characteristic is to introduce contemporary sculptures in the ancient contest of italian urban space.

His unique art symbolizes the challenge in the panorama of contemporary art: the eternal discussion between the ancient and the new.

Through contemporary signs, Staccioli wants to rediscover  the identity of a country, Italy, whose roots are buried in a past that has moulded the towns, countryside and the development of society.

Volterra, the Tuscan town where Staccioli was born seventy years ago, is tributing an acknowledgement to the work of this great artist, by organizing an incredible event that involvies museums, streets, urban environment. The final result is a sort of big “wedding ring”  made of art installations along and around the urban perimeter of Volterra.

The whole exhibition realizes a tight link between the artist, his making art and the earth where Staccioli has grown up.

20 monumental installation, respresenting Mauro Staccioli “Sites of Experience” are set out in the landscape, as well as in historic places and piazzas.

Rome - The Colosseum - from March 27th 2009 till January 10th 2010

The city of Ancient Rome, the imperial one, still exists today under the eyes of all visitors. Very often from the underground of the city the ancient magnificence of the Roman Empire reappears with evident traces of the great power and fabulous prosperity of the lords who ruled it.

Vespasianus was the founder of the Gens Flavia and a man of a great importance during the years of his empire (69–79 AD). He was considerably open minded in relation to social policies: for example in terms of town planning, he returned to roman citizens some public urban areas, dispossessed during the reign of Nero. So, Vespasianus is to be considered as the promoter of the economic and social restoration of the whole empire which under his reign experienced a proverbial period of serenity. As a consequence of that, he was one of the most loved emperor of the roman history.

The exhibition, staged inside the Colosseum, is divided in six parts and takes also place in other areas of the eternal city including some monuments generally closed to public: the Curia, in the Foro Romano, where the main subject of the exhibition is the “imperial cult”; the Criptoportico neroniano, on the Palatino Hill, where remains of the imperial palace are displayed.
