A serie of sculptures by artist Fabio Viale are displayed in front of the Royal palace, attracting lots of attention from the locals and tourists.
The sculptures are reproduction of the roman sculptures, except that they are tattooed.
Fabio Viale is an italian scuptor, born in Cuneo, Piedmont and after his studies at the artistic high school and at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, Italy, Viale started to work professionally as a sculptor.
'Viale doesn’t paint the marble but rather infuses an arm or chest with
color and pattern in a manner that’s similar to tattooing a human body.
He collaborated with chemists to refine the blended technique and said
that “not surprisingly, each natural material has its strong personality
and difficulties connected to it.”'
