FISHERMAN WIFE - (44°04'54.6"N 12°34'36.2"E) In Rimini is possible to find this statue made of bronze, placed at the tip of the dock facing the open sea. The statue represent a woman with children on the shore waiting for her husband fishing in the sea. The scene is drammatic.The woman is aiming a point on the horizon trying to figure out where the husband fishing boat is, probably hoping to to see him coming back safely to the port. Till the XIX century this kind of risks were a big concern for families, in fact the sails of the fishing boats were all different from each other in order to make them recognizable from the shore. Each boat had its own particular sign on the sail, smartphones and GPS weren’t available back then. Fishing had always been part of Rimini's culture since it's on the coast, but in the last years it started losing its identity because of massive tourism from all over Europe. This sculpture wants to remember us our past, our origins, the respect for tough jobs such as fishing and most of all the respect for the sea as a force of nature and as a resource.FISHERMAN WIFE
FINESTRELLA DI VIA PIELLA - (44°29'54.8"N 11°20'43.1"E)The Finestrella from Bologna can be considered as a symbol because it gives us a view from the past and remember us that we should preserve our environment and cultural background against an easy and irresponsible progress. Bologna between the XIII and XVII century was famous for the production of fabrics made of silk and had 15 watermills that were providing energy to move the mules. These watermills were powered by many rivers passing through the city. The city should’ve looked like an inland Venice. During the ‘50s the local administration decided to cover all the rivers and to release wastewater into them in the name of a quick progress. Since that moment Bologna changed completely its aspect. Only in 1998 the local administration started a new project with the intent to regain that lost beauty. The river we can see through the window is the Fiume Reno that was uncovered and cleaned from the dirt. Moreover the small window was placed to create an inspiring point of view and to give the sense of what it should’ve been.FINESTRELLA DI VIA PIELLA
BOLOGNA’S URBAN FABRIC - (44°29'37.9"N 11°20'33.8"E) Bologna itself and its urban fabric can be considered as a landscape symbol because, despite its monuments and so on, the main aspect that makes Bologna stand in the comparison with other cities is its urban planning. The will to preserve its medieval pattern throughout the centuries had always been part of citizens sensibilities. This includes materials, colours and many other features. Meanwhile in Europe at the end of the XIX century was developing a sense of discard to the past urban set up, Bologna instead found its own way to renew itself respecting its origins. The best way to experience Bologna in fact is to take a walk around the city center, enjoy its porches and be amazed by the continuity of its glimpses despite built in different periods.BOLOGNA’S URBAN FABRIC
