Private collector donates the “Ocean” work of art to the city of Olbia.

It was inaugurated in Piazza Crispi, ad Olbia, in the wonderful scenery of the seafront, the work of art “Ocean”, donated by a private collector to the city, while the base, made of Sardinian granite, was donated by a local producer and entrepreneur.

«I am happy to give my contribution to enhancing Olbia through this work, which is also a vehicle for a current and significant message - he claims The collector -. The sculpture is dedicated to the city's dockworkers, which represent the ancient tradition of a very important profession for the development of the territory and for its opening towards the outside».

Mayor Settimo Nizzi He thanked "heartily both the manufacturer who donated the base in the material most dear to us, Sardinian granite, and the collector who decided to purchase and donate the work, an extremely generous gesture that makes our city and our seafront even more beautiful». 

«The concepts expressed by “Ocean” fit perfectly with the ideals that move our administration towards initiatives aimed at respecting and enhancing the environment, which pass through sustainable mobility, the creation of more and more green spaces within the perimeter urban, raising awareness among citizens, young people, and so on. It is a beautiful work, which reminds us that each of us is part of something immense and that every single small gesture affects the entire system», explained the Mayor.

The artist who created the sculpture is Emanuela Giacco, born in L'Aquila and resident in Sardinia, where he lives and works.

«The sculpture is made with recycled ropes, thus enclosing the synthesis of my research: existentialism, nature and sustainability – explains Giacco -. The light nature of the human being merges with the theater of life in which each individual is required to lend their stage presence: our planet. Everything merges, everything is related by a bond, but at the same time each thread has its own dimension and thanks to this it is able to see what is foreign to it. The butterfly effect of chaos theory becomes the protagonist, small variations, those of a single thread, produce large long-term variations on the entire system. A work that asks us a question that today more than ever can no longer be ignored, that of ongoing climate change, but which unfortunately still seems foreign to each of us. Yet, isn't every single involuntary breath we take tied to this?».
