“Idra” e “Merope” (“Idra” and “Merope”) by Antonio Signorini, 2022
Piazza San Firenze
Florence, January 2023
“In piazza San Firenze, piazza del Carmine and piazza del Grano, horses take flight, dancers leap and long slender figures stretch their way seemingly beyond the very limits of the city’s iconic architecture, streaming with a lightness that casts the eyes upwards as our own bodies seem to stretch taller in response to the grand images. But these are images of contrast; to create flight, the sculptures must be balanced by the solid pressure of a counterweight, yet somehow the bases remain almost invisible, so completely is the eye drawn by the lithe and powerful dancing figures above.” (Antonio Signorini’s Attraverso show, The Florentine)
