Technique:  “a secco” painting (with a fresco pigments) milk & vinyl, quick-slaked lime, marble dust and Ticino sand, plaster.

The artwork won the first prize of a competition held by the Concorezzo municipality, in the 1982, for the refurbishment of the city council room, in the Neoclassical building of Villa Zoia (XVI Century). Thus, the request was to compose a work capable of representing: the political battles, the multiplicity of thoughts, respect between the factions and the civic sense of citizens. Conceptually, the intention was to work on the dualistic interaction between the multiplicity and unity of the political parties, apparently divided but with the same aim; giving to the city the best and prosperous future.The technique I used was “a secco” painting (with a fresco pigments) with a drawing is based on the golden ratio, in order to maintain the balance of proportions with the architecture of the Villa, with the intention to suggest a unitariety, corporating and scorporating the drawing perception.The colors instead, they represent the difference between the political views, were applied following the rules of the Johannes Itten’s colors circle and the logic coming out the visual perception theories by the psychologist Fabio Metelli of the University of Padua (Italy) about the “Phenomenic Transparency”, (an example few years after: the flooring and the ceiling of the European Council Hall in Brussels) also were fundamental the perception logics of two of my teachers at the “Polytechnic School of Design of Nino di Salvatore” in Milan as Bruno Munari and Augusto Garau.
