This project, thought of as “site specific, “was about the city of Milan in which I was born. In the early 70s the city was at the height of its industrial development. The factories were mostly located in the urban centre and this contributed to a significant degradation of the quality of the air that was seriously polluted. It was mostly due to a process of oil combustion which released “carbon particles or “soot” into the atmosphere, making the air unbreathable and blackened every building façade. Like many children at the time, I was affected by a disease related to this issue which became a “leitmotif” in my youth and a major diversion on the path of my personal and family life.






A transposition of a Milan urban legend of the 70s . An iron grid installed in the floor of the gallery alludes to a communication between the soil and subsoil of the Gallery conveys the sound of the sea: waves breaking between the boat and the quay of the port.
