We're very excited to announce that there's a major art event in the Piazza that will open on Friday. To be completely frank, it's not because we love the works in question, but because watching the installation is guaranteed to be entertaining.
Beverly Pepper is an American sculptor of some renown who works in metal...LARGE quantities thereof. She created the rather visible pieces outside of Consolazione, and there are also two sculptures on the steps to San Fortunato (which will be moved to a permanent location at La Rocca later on this year).
The big excitement, though, is the arrival of four sculptures that were last displayed in Todi in the 1970s. In order to place these, the city needed to provide the bases, and we were lucky enough to see some of this work today!
I'll update you when the sculptures actually arrive...
Love,
Alexandra

| BIG concrete mixer! Concrete is most often mixed by hand in batches, here, so this is an unusual sight. |
