The Dragon Spiro

Location: Rome 
Year: 2012 
Client: private 

An impressive, innovative and dynamic playground. It is a dragon 20 meters long and 2.5 meters high, entirely covered with more than 7,000 scales of mosaics pressed by hand one by one. The dragon enters in and exits from the earth, as if the surface were fluid, configuring a functional and habitable sculpture. By climbing on the dragon’s tongue, it is possible to reach a niche inside the head.
A swing is installed under the main ring, while the final part of the composition is a hybrid between a tail and a slide. The landscape project is completed by the installation of mosaic benches, some
of which are in the shape of a goat with real gold horns.

The giant

Location: Capena (RM)
Year: 2018
Client: Municipality of Capena, Wurth, Salgrotta

The result of a collaboration with the Hungarian artist Hervé Loranth Ervin, the installation “Il Momento” is a 9-meter-high giant, located in the village of Capena. It represents the man who waits: with one leg inside the square, symbolically anchored to his past, he leans out at the same time looking forward, beyond the door, towards the panorama, projected towards the future. A metaphor of human existence and the experiences that each individual goes through during the life. The subject depicted is aware of his roots and relates to himself in peace and harmony.

Frutto della collaborazione con l’artista ungherese Hervé Loranth Ervin, l'installazione "Il Momento" è un gigante di 9 metri di altezza, ubicato nel borgo di Capena. Rappresenta l’uomo che attende: con una gamba all’interno della piazza, simbolicamente ancorato al proprio passato, si sporge al contempo guardando in avanti, oltre la porta, in direzione del panorama, proiettato verso il futuro. Una metafora dell'esistenza umana e delle esperienze che ogni individuo sperimenta durante la propria vita. Il soggetto raffigurato è consapevole delle sue radici e si rapporta con sé stesso in pace e in armonia.

intrigue and pleasure to those who touch them. The Touch Cow was elected testimonial of the Cow Parade Roma 2010, the most original and fun international contemporary open-air exhibition. The work was sponsored by Alfa International and subsequently purchased by the Cremonini Group.
