Monday, May 15<\/strong> at 11:00 AM marks the inauguration of the installation The Pietrarubbia Group<\/em><\/strong> by Arnaldo Pomodoro in Piazza dell\u2019Ateneo Nuovo 1, in front of the University of Milan-Bicocca<\/strong> campus. The environmental artwork, composed of six elements, is the result of a work in progress begun in 1975 and completed in 2015, serving as an ideal tribute to the ancient village of Pietrarubbia in Montefeltro, the artist\u2019s homeland.<\/p>\n

After being exhibited in Milan at Piazzetta Reale<\/strong> during the major exhibition celebrating the Maestro\u2019s 90th birthday<\/a>, the sculptural complex returns to be displayed in its entirety in Bicocca, at the center of Piazza dell\u2019Ateneo Nuovo<\/strong>, designed by architect Vittorio Gregotti. The installation was made possible thanks to a free loan agreement between the Foundation and the University of Milan-Bicocca<\/strong>. Alongside works by Fausto Melotti, Anselm Kiefer, Giuseppe Spagnulo, Edoardo Tresoldi, and Gonzalo Borendo already present in the area, the work thus becomes part of Bicocca\u2019s artistic heritage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"My ideal,\"<\/em> Pomodoro has often stated, \"is to place my sculptures among people, houses, greenery, and everyday streets. The work becomes like a living creature, changing with the shifting light and shadows, but also through interaction with people, creating an unusual dialogue that connects the artwork and the viewer. The work thus becomes a heritage for everyone and takes on a testimonial value of its time: it manages to imprint itself on its surroundings and enriches them with further layers of memory.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

At the inauguration, the following will speak: Cristina Messa, Rector of the University of Milan-Bicocca; Filippo Del Corno, Cultural Assessor of the City of Milan; Marco Martini, Coordinator of the Cultural Heritage Network at the University of Milan-Bicocca; Livia Pomodoro, President of the Academy of Fine Arts of Milan; Antonio Calabr\u00f2, Director of the Pirelli Foundation; Vittorio Gregotti, Architect; Arnaldo Pomodoro, Sculptor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
