Different stages of Giuseppe Uncini’s journey are shown through fifty-seven sculptures and thirty drawings created between 1957 and 2008. The verification of a half-century of work, based on primary ways of building, is first of all a return towards the origins, to a hometown with the most unique historic center that has a clear medieval structure. That structure is what determines the monochrome molding in Uncini’s works as well as the elastic innervated lines, which continue winding with increasing freedom, and what leads him towards uncommon and colossal dimensions.

Topics and ideas are constantly being confronted in a way that is never far-fetched, even when rethinking what is already done. The ultimate purpose of those combinations is to take the work’s physicality to the extreme, to withdraw from the material the unprecedented energy and the idea that for a long time has been cherished through gestures and attitudes, typical occupations practiced during the war as a personal university of thought and of manual skill.
