Anello di San Martino, 1995-2007

Concrete and Iron, Ø600×50 cm
SR 68 località Poggio di San Martino

The ring, which has the typical oxide-red color, a favorite with Staccioli, was installed  in 2005, on the occasion of the exhibition Generazioni in Arte. It gives this gentle, hilly view of Volterra a new, enhanced visibility, leading our look over the elevated, metal-rich terrain that lies beyond the lush slopes. This sort of round frame/screen forces us to slow down our uphill run towards Volterra, and look at (i.e. contemplate), not see, the scene that opens within it.
