On the occasion of the VI edition of the Festival and thanks to the collaboration with the artist's Archive, Galleria Il Ponte in Florence and Galleria d'Arte Niccoli in Parma, Hypermaremma reinstalls a major corten steel work by Mauro Staccioli. Created in 2004 for the Bodio Center in Milan, exactly twenty years after its first exhibition it is now located in the ‘Valle d'Oro’ in Giardino (Capalbio), along the ideal axis connecting the sea to the hilly hinterland of the Maremma.

This architecture, consisting of three nine-meter-high pyramidal elements arranged in a circle equidistantly, stands out in the Maremma landscape with the sharpness of forms that distinguish Mauro Staccioli's work, all centered on the idea of art as an element of social, political, and cultural signaling. This political approach constitutes the fundamental character of Staccioli's work, who made the dialogue with the territory his life's research.

The physicality of these pyramids – very "earthy" – is here overturned in a romantic key: the title indeed invites the viewer to rethink the space by shifting attention towards the sky, the perspective direction of the three corten tips.
