Michelangelo Pistoletto (born in Biella in 1933) was
an animating force and a protagonist of
Arte Povera in the 60's. His whole oeuvre is guided by a desire to develop the artist's social position,
with the objective to carry out artistic projects for “a responsible social transformation” in all of the spheres of human activity (economics, politics, science, ecology, religion, education...).
