Documentation on sculptor Edoardo Tresoldi's permanent monumental installation in Venice's Procuratie Vecchie.
Monumento (2022) is an installation by Edoardo Tresoldi, commissioned by Generali, promoter of the restoration of the building carried out by the David Chipperfield Architects studio.
The installation is located in the space around which the monumental circular staircase of the Procuratie Vecchie ascends.
Monumento uses the rhetorical language of the monumental column as a reflection both on our times and on the rhetoric surrounding those values to which our society aspires: a society that reiterates the need to redefine the concept of strength, reinterpreting the role of fragility and which proposes listening and dialogue as the fundamental points of intercultural relations.
