Seme con germogli (Seed with Sprouts)

New sprouts, new forms emerge from a mature seed, different in colour and shape — a symbol of a land in motion, one that has already lived and now offers itself as a starting point for renewal. 

Giuseppe Colangelo has brought together multiple concepts in a work that also seeks to become a symbol of rebirth and hope for Abruzzo, as for Friuli.
