About The Artwork

My ispiration for this artwork comes from Italian folk tradition, where on August 10 there is the night of St Lawrence ; especially impressive because you can see many shooting stars and a wonderful sky . Shooting stars also called by tradition " Tears of St. Lawrence ", are actually part of a meteor shower of Persaidi but calls to the tradition Tears of St Lawrence to evoke his grief during his martyrdom. In those days in fact, the Earth's atmosphere is crossed by a large number of small meteors and the phenomenon is particularly visible in the Italian latitudes because the summer sky is often cloudless. Every summer a lot of people especially young, go out to a park, to own backyard or on the beach to see better with their friends or parents this phenomenon, stay together to contemplate a wonderful summer night. This is my my memory about that night, my feeling, my teenage years with my friends to see the stars in a nice place on the Italian Appennini mountain,called Amatrice, where I spend a lot of summer during my childhood. Now this town has been destroyed by an violent earthquake last 24th August; to remember this town and my time passed there I wanted to paint not its ruin and rubble as do the newspapers, but its sky that I watched every summer during the St Lawrence night (the night of the wishes) to remember my dear memories about and wish to see it as it once was.
