La mia testa

Bronze and aluminium · 2005

We stand before La mia testa, one of the most intimate and symbolic interpretations of the Rolling Heads series. Unlike previous versions, here the head has set out walking: it has two legs, almost human, that support it, as if to suggest a figure in motion, a nomadic identity between two worlds. This sculpture is a true mental self-portrait of the artist. On one side, we find the quiet of the Tuscan countryside: trees, animals, dogs, symbols of a slow life immersed in nature. On the other, the contrast is sharp: figures of businessmen, urban structures, and the head itself merges with the architecture of the city. But the true twist is a hidden detail: in the middle of the natural part, you can spot a small businessman. An infiltrator, a distraction. A reflection on the impossibility of completely separating the two lives, professional and personal, because even in silence the mind keeps running.
