SYMPOSIUM 2021
The second edition of “Pietra Sublime”, International Symposium of Monumental Sculpture, organized by the municipal administration of Cavriglia in collaboration with Aiesm, International Association of Monumental Sculpture Events and with the sculptor Pietro Fabbroni owner of the “Bottega d’Arte Biri” company, will start on May 26th in Cavriglia, in the multipurpose area of the Bellosguardo circuits.
The event will start, as mentioned, on May 26th until June 13th and will bring to Cavriglia 12 sculptors of international carat, the projects of whom have been carefully examined and selected by a committee of experts.
The countries represented in this second edition are, in addition to Italy, China, Armenia, Spain, South Korea, Japan, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Iran and Holland, as evidence of the strong international vocation of this event.
At a time when a pandemic from the world’s borders has shocked the lives of all of us, the Pietra Sublime Symposium which, however, will take place in full compliance with the anti-covid protocols, will be an instrument of dialogue, that dialogue between peoples and cultures that represented one of the greatest waivers imposed by the spread of the virus. There will be many collateral activities planned and organized in conjunction with the event, if possible in presence otherwise online, but always with the aim of “approaching”, of letting art speak that has always been an instrument of union.
The works, which will be made of travertine, will remain supplied to the municipal administration that will install them in the Bellosguardo circuit area, thus creating a real open-air Art Park, a place that will combine art, sport and nature and that will represent a “unicum” in Valdarno.
Pietra Sublime will enjoy and benefit from patronages that underline its value, such as that of the European Parliament and the Tuscany Region, which also contributes as a sponsor, of many trade associations, as well as the support of numerous companies that make up the productive fabric of the territory, which, guessing the scope of the event, have enthusiastically joined.
