l) Memory of Fellicarolo

Memory of Fellicarolo, 100 x 100 cm, year 2023.

As a teenager, during a holiday in the Modena Apennines I went on an excursion along the Fellicarolo stream with an uncle. After leaving the main shaft we climbed along a small tributary and then climbed the slopes of Mount Cimone. For me it was an exciting adventure and I have an indelible memory of it. In particular, the succession of pools and waterfalls, among which one image in particular, framed by stratified rocks, remained firmly fixed in my mind. Probably confusing fantasy and reality over time, I created the painting trying to leave the fantasy as pure as possible. The result is a purely figurative painting which, for me, is nothing other than the evocation of an infinite youthful pleasure.
