The idea of an International Symposium of Monumental Sculpture to be held in Cavriglia, was born from the vocation of the municipality to propose itself as a land of peace. There can be no peace without dialogue, solidarity and cooperation between peoples, and art can, in this regard, be an important instrument of dialogue. The fact that artists from various parts of the world participated in the event is an emblem of what has been said. With a view to intercultural and interpersonal exchange, as collateral activities at the Symposium, but no less important, meetings were organized with schools and cultural associations, to allow art to make its voice heard.
