MONUMENT IN HONOUR OF
ROBERTO BENIGNI
The
concept of a monument to honour the actor Roberto Benigni was conceived in
1977 and became a reality with its inauguration in 1999. It has been
supported by the community of Manciano, the home of this great artist.
Standing at 4.5 metres high, this bronze covered stone statue is a homage
to life and creativity. It is situated in our ‘Park of Creativity’,
which is constantly expanding to exhibit new works.
ANDREA ROGGI’S
‘CREATIVITY STUDIO’
This
‘Creativity Workshop’ serves as a meeting place for artists in which
they can express themselves through bronze, stone and precious metals.
The
Park is located in the heart of the Valdichiana, Tuscany between Arezzo
and Cortona and is therefore the perfect geographical location for an
appreciation of art.
The
underlying theme of Andrea’s work is the exploration of the human soul,
essentially laying bare not only internal struggle with its inherent
disappointments but also a sense of hope, pride and liberation
communicated through a vibrant and universal philosophy
Andrea’s
works are expressions of perception and mystery through form, the hallmark
of his creative genius and are inspired by a long standing tradition of
Tuscan artists beginning with Cimabue and continuing to the present day.
