Installation of stone sculpture and plastic toys (variable measure)
In the film "Life is beautiful" Roberto Benigni makes his son Joshua believe that captivity is actually a game at the end of which those who score a thousand points will win a tank.
It is not an invitation to lie to children to make them believe that the world is different from what it really is, but rather that it tells us the inner suffering between the pain of being an adult and the wonder of childhood.
Two areas of contrasting life, perpetually conflicting, but absolutely essential.
The transformation of reality is aimed solely at safeguarding the freedom of the child's imagination, freedom in which play is always a decisive component for emotional-intellectual development.
Imaginary and magnificent kingdom where the game, in the end, always wins.
And maybe, the beauty is staying a little bit of a child forever.
