Dear Art Lover,
On
Sunday, several of us sculptors from this past July’s symposium returned to Cava Nardini [cava means ‘stone quarry’ in Italian]. The sculptures
were lifted with either cords of metal or heavy-duty fabric straps and laid on
their sides on top of a wooden pallet.
Then holes were drilled under the bases to secure the sculptures in
their new home.

Yesterday Marco
Nardini loaded the sculptures onto a truck and they were all taken to the Parco
di Pinocchio in Collodi, Italy.
All but one of our symposium works were of the theme of Pinocchio and will now
find their place in the Park of
Pinocchio. Collodi is the Tuscan
town where the story of the world-famous puppet who became a real boy was born. [The exception was a bas-relief giant stone postcard view of Vellano by Roberto Politano and that was mounted for all to see at the entrance of that village back in August.]
Today I am on my way to this park with Silvio Viola, the sculptor who
organized this whole project with Marco Nardini and the Mayor of Pescia and
others. It will be my first time there
and I am curious to see it after the various reports I have heard. The installation should be completed by
tomorrow, but last I heard, they may wait for a spring dedication ceremony.
Peace,
Kelly
