I° SIMPOSIO INTERNAZIONALE DI SCULTURA IN PIETRA

“ FEDERICO II° DI SVEVIA STUPOR MUNDI ”

ENNA - SICILIA - ITALIA

 

                                                            
             

The city of Enna in the heart of Sicily and the cultural artistic association "Eventi Arte" sponsor this event, organized by the Sicilian sculptor Mario Termini.

The sculptures were carved in Belvedere Square, the last day to be installed around the tower of Frederick II, King of Sicily who this meeting was dedicated.

More than 120 projects submitted, 10 were selected by popular vote.

Work Period: From April 8 to 17, 2010.

My project made "Falco" is a personal stylization of the figure of a falcon, a guard position, where I play with geometric and organic elements, simplifying features, but trying to keep the expressive power of this bird of prey.

Frederick II of Swabia, fond of falconry, even wrote a treatise on the art of hunting, he always represents his trusty hawk.

Carving made in cream limestone, one meter in height.

Sculptors selected:

Italians: Remo Belletti, Francesca Bianconi, Leonrado Cumbo, Cizia Porcheddu, Emanuele Rubini. Antonis Myrodias (Greece), Franco Daga (Australia), Ahmed Karaly (Egypt),and spanish: Oscar Aguirre Comendador and Pedro Jordán.
