---------------------------------------------------------
from the press release [...]
Andreco will produce a wall painting in which he links the urban future of Pianoro to its territorial and identity icon, the whale, as well as to its genealogical history. In this way, he will leave to everybody an invitation to consciously plan and work on the walls and to take continuous care of them.
The work is a drawing in progress. Like caves' walls, where carvings of incisions of symbolic and fantastic signs told stories of everyday life events of the time, Andreco's work interprets a piece of history, and describes its evolution. A town is born on the back of a huge cetacean, (perhaps related to the Val di Zena whale, and to the archaeological artifacts that have been found close to Pianoro), starting from a single house that gradually evolves into a village and finally into a city. The city grows harmoniously at the same time as the animal, as if they were two symbiotic living organisms. It is alive and an organic system in continuous change that deserves nourishment, time and care, culture and environmentally sustainable practices.
