SUPERNOVA

This collection brings attention to the phenomenon and consequences of the huge nuclear explosions that characterize the end of a star's life: the Supernova. All the material released by the explosion is at the origin of the formation of new stars. The supernova poses as a symbol of death and rebirth, and cyclicity of the universe. In these spectacular cosmic events the elements heavier than iron are formed, through which life, as we know it, is possible. That is why the Supernova has a meaning that goes well beyond astronomy: we are sons of the stars. Supernova collection has been exhibited in 2017 at the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago and in 2018 at Sala del Cenacolo of the Chamber of Deputies (Italian Parliament) in Rome.
