Pietre Preziose

In the Royal garden, a new art piece was installed among the woods. It the Pietre Preziose, the new work by Giulio Paolini for the Royal Gardens. 

Pietre Preziose ( Precious stones ) is an installation that retrieves some original stone fragments of the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, the masterpiece by Guarino Guarini, arranged by Paolini on a kind of plant that evokes Guariniana, consisting of granite and lava stone inlays. In the center, the figure of an architect in eighteenth-century clothing that resembles the Dome, to evoke the Guarini but also, ambiguously, the artist.
