The Artist
Francesco Arena draws inspiration for his sculptures from figures and
events that have marked the history of our nation, as if he were renewing an
important Italian artistic tradition. However with anti-monumental intention

not yet been clarified. From wars to the years of terrorism, up to history’s
most recent moments, Arena reinterprets the past as a sequence of facts –
including heights, corporeal weights, kilometric distances – the arithmetic
precision of which in turn dictates the proportions of each work. [...]
