“Davide Rivalta instead populates the outdoor spaces of the Fort, with its bronze sculptures, creating a surreal atmosphere for the visitor: buffaloes, rhinos, eagles, suspended in an infinite instant. Metal sculptures that seem rather made of mud, mirages on the horizon that are about to disintegrate, and yet, they appear at the same time majestic and concrete, releasing a life force that makes them absolutely real. Rivalta also brings its wild animals indoors: the mighty rhino placed in the middle of one of the rooms seems to address with surprise the incoming visitors.” (Massimo Listi and Davide Rivalta, Arte Leonardo)
