RICORDI

Description

The painting "Ricordi" is an abstract composition in which each square and rectangle embodies a memory of the First World War. Dark tones like black and grey evoke the shadow and sadness of wartime, while gold and copper hues suggest moments of hope and resilience.

Each section of the picture tells a different story. Some squares, with their thick paint layer and rough textures, represent the brutality of the trenches and the difficulties faced by soldiers. Others, with soft shades and lighter colors, reflect the moments of solidarity and humanity that emerge even in the darkest times.

The marks and scratches engraved at various points of the painting can be interpreted as scars left by war, both physical and emotional. 

The word "MEMORIES" engraved in the upper right highlights the central theme of the painting: the collective and personal memory of a conflict that has changed the course of our history.

In addition, hidden in the picture, you can escort other verbs to the past (had, fu, era) that make it understood how the war swept and took possession of what was soldiers.

Overall, the painting invites to reflect on various aspects of war, from sacrifices to moments of hope, contained in each square as fragments of Sacred Historical Memory.
