About The Artwork
Another work from my obsession with maps, symbols, time, memory, and the lives of celebrities. Here I homage Eleonora Duse (1858-1924), by many considered the greatest Italian actress and one of the most important actress in the modern history of theater. Her life has been full of events, lovers, and most of all, travels. I have put in this photograph the places that I judged the most important for her life. In particular the map of Pennsylvania is here because she, unfortunately, died while on tour throughout the United States, her farewell tour at age 64. She was performing in Pittsburgh, and got a pneumonia and spent the last few days of her very rich life in the Hotel Schenley, which is now the William Pitt Union at the University of Pittsburgh. The theater were she was performing was the Syria Mosque, which is not there any more. The place is now a parking lot, in front of which there is now a brand new hotel, The Oaklander, belonging to the Marriott Group. In the end, in front of this work, we might ask ourselves: did she have a happy life?

My latest endeavour: I paint on maps. First I put on them several layers of varnish, to make them heavy, textured, then I paint a text that comes in my mind, regarding the experience of human kind on that particular piece of earth. Through my maps I want to study the relationship between the names of people, facts, memories (both individual and collective) and the land and its representation. In response to every word, every symbol we perceive, the impressions we each have vary. And, most of all, I want to express my unconditional love for the United States of America. Every map is a unique work, on which I have spent many hours, both for the varnish and for the paint. In these hours I have concentrated myself on the territory and I was in touch with the people described by the map itself.
