Proposal for the Predaia Symposium 2023:

The sculpture created by Paolo has the title “dalle pietre al bosco”.

The reading of the work proposed by Paolo starts from the bottom, from the earth, from the stones from which the minerals are extracted with which Hephaestus forged weapons and jewels.

On those stones rests an anvil, the main instrument of Hephaestus’ work.

From the anvil comes a melody of sounds that blends with that of the flute of the god Pan, in an ideal symbiosis between earth and nature.
