Designed by\u00a0Raffaello Galiotto<\/strong> of Lithos Design<\/strong>, the Stone Gate<\/strong><\/a> sculpture is a\u00a0large natural stone ring that redesigns the panorama in\u00a0front of the Verona Arena, becoming an irresistible public attraction. The stone ring weighs\u00a027,300 kg, 3.80 metres high and 1.20 metres deep. Twenty modular stone\u00a0slabs laid dry, joined to form a self-supporting structure, ensured by the\u00a0compression of the steel rings embedded in the structure.<\/p>\n

The stone ring by blends in with\u00a0silent respect before the magnificence of the Arena, immediately becoming\u00a0a venue for to get-together, play, laugh and take a break for thousands of\u00a0tourists and passers-by who have instinctively “adopted” it.<\/p>\n

Works within a work, or perhaps the continuous metamorphosis of the work,\u00a0thanks to the public’s interaction as they enjoy it each one in his or her own\u00a0individual way, interpreting it as if it were the stage of an open-air theatre\u00a0with stars who improvise and change the panorama each time, interacting\u00a0and merging with the stone work itself.<\/p>\n

In a never-ending sequence of new faces and different gestures, people\u00a0pass through and beyond Stone Gate, each one experimenting with poses\u00a0and shapes, some opening their arms out to simulate Da Vinci’s Vitruvian\u00a0Man, others shouting to hear their voice amplified inside the ring. The\u00a0keenest visitors lie down for a nap.<\/p>\n

The charm of the wheel, the ancestral calling of the stone: the power of an\u00a0artwork that can truly be enjoyed as well as admired. The Stone Gate<\/strong> will be on display for a period of four weeks from 25th September – 29th October 2013.<\/p>\n
