Artwork
New sprouts, new bodies emerge from a mature seed, each different in color and shape, symbolizing a land in motion that has already lived and now presents itself as a starting point for a new beginning.
Giuseppe Colangelo has blended various concepts into a work that aims to be a symbol of renewal and hope for both Abruzzo and Friuli.
