Diego Cibelli. A Life in the open air | Making of

Diego Cibelli signs the new permanent installation of Fondazione Luigi Rovati: A Life in the Open Air, a series of biscuit porcelain sculptures distributed throughout the spaces of the palazzo on Corso Venezia, from the atrium to the inner façade up to the Piano Nobile.

The installation begins in the entrance hall of the palazzo, which comes alive with Etruscan-inspired faces enclosed in four medallions rich in floral elements. On the Piano Nobile, in the entrance hall, sculptures of figures with ancient features move in a circular dance, suspended in the void, while on the wall a pair of birds flies outward, into the open air. On the façade facing the garden, four trees stretch out, inhabited by faces and entire anthropomorphic figures looking beyond, surrounded by deer, hares, and birds running freely across the surface.
