AAA Pathway - Art Environment and Archaeology Sculptures and installations by Valentina Carrera, Rinaldo Degradi, Carlo Fontanella, Paolo Lo Giudice, Paolo Pasini, Virgilio Patarini, Alessandro Zanni and others Going into detail, sculptures and installations of the “AAA - Art Environment Archaeology” project are to be created and placed mainly in the meadows on the other side of the Hill, especially in some areas cleared of brambles and brushwood in the last year and finally made usable to visitors: a first step towards the definition of a “fourth path” to be added to the three already existing ones dedicated to Engravings and Archaeological Findings.

The sculptures and installations in question have Nature and the Archaic World as their main themes, and therefore lend themselves to establishing a dialogue with the naturalistic and archaeological aspects of the place that hosts them: the content dialogues with the container and helps visitors grasp new insights and suggestions.

OXIGENE - The Breath of the Earth. Photographs, “x-rays,” sculptures and small installations by Valentina Carrera Oxigene-the Breath of the Earth is a project dedicated to the tree and climate change. The relationship between man and tree is ancient. A kinship so close that it suggests an ancient motherhood. In the Torah Adam and Eve began our descent and discovery of the world from a tree of knowledge itself. Scientifically, the birth of “photosynthesis” coincides with the birth of life on planet Earth. Our respiratory system is identical to that of nature, and only in preserving it will we have a chance of survival. Yet we are forgetting this.

The “Oxigene” project consists of photographs and installations on environmental issues. Nature is us, but often the distance that is created between us and her, due to our selfishness and the need to satisfy our needs, has made her something expendable, and here we have now reached the point where we wonder if it is possible to save her from destruction. Let us then consider it from a distance, as in a museum.

Let us respect the antiquities of our history and preserve them as best we can to maintain our memory by studying them and learning where we came from. What if we studied nature in the same way, with the same respect?

What if we studied nature in the same way, with the same respect?Test tubes, vitrines and x-rays can penetrate us into its wonder.Let us begin to know her, to know ourselves and together save ourselves.This is a project made with prints on drawing paper, photographic prints on transparent acetate with overlapping layers, industrial salvaged wood boxes, glass, light boxes.

Oxigene is a tribute to nature to be preserved and loved, but also an apocalyptic vision of a possible near future where oxygen is scarce and is stored in precious and rare jars. Among other works is an installation with botanical memory archive imagining a now lost flora preserved in mini photographs on wooden cubes.Oxigene consists of layered works where it is possible to enter a magical forest with ghostly branches or we find branches superimposed on bronchi indicating that our respiratory system is identical to that of nature and that only in preserving it will we have a chance of survival.

HEIM - Home away from the sun. Novel by Alessandro Baito “Heim is a book about choices. Also. It is ten stories, ten lives that are told by their protagonists, each with their own voice and feeling. Their points of view may or may not be shared.But at the heart of it all remains a Humanity and a sense of Community that must be unquestionable.In our differences we are all equal.

Heim is a book about choices and sacrifice. Beyond the ten personal stories told becomes increasingly important the seeming randomness, indeed the necessity of the relationship between the stories...until it becomes a reality.

The ten characters are all connected. In spirit. To a long chain of other spirits that form like a chain mail that holds Humanity together on its path to full realization, which would otherwise crumble under the blows of the destructive forces of selfishness. Heim is home in Icelandic, because Iceland is a natural symbol of the meeting of opposing forces, the fire of volcanoes and the ice of the Pole. Heim is the common home beyond time and space; the destination of our journey; the refuge where we can truly be ourselves.

The writing is interspersed with poetic grafts, quotations from imagined books, in truth written for complete by me ... a bit self-referential, but can the world created in a novel stand only if it is self-sufficient, coherent and ... self-referential? I guess.” Alexander Baito
