| Paying Homage to Old Masters in Museo Bardini 2016 | |||
| - “Intellectuals”  are those who generate new universal knowledge and are engaged in the  action of transmitting it.- EDGAR MORIN | |||

 The  exhibition at Museo  Bardini focuses on  the idea of creating a harmony between Ancient and Contemporary Art, beyond the  caesura with the past hoped for by Modernity, which can be perceived by  visitors.  
 In this fascinating and moving exhibition Fabrizio Ruggiero's sculptures “dialogue” in harmony with artworks from the past.. Thus creating an ambient that stimulate, renew, and revive the mental process of identification and the feeling of having common roots, regardless the origins or cultures. 
 It brings forth Edgar Morin's auspicious question "One day, will we poetically inhabit the earth?". 
 Indeed, the sculptures that are  exhibited are made of many natural elements provided by nature’s bounty from  all parts of the world. They bear testimony to nature’s resilience in the face  of human-made challenges.  
 These sculptures are like totems, silent performers,  and reminders of the perils facing Mother Earth and humankind.The exhibition gathers  together a selection of Fabrizio Ruggiero's most famous sculptures  celebrating his achievements in last three  decades. 
 These sculptures were on show at the art exhibition entitled “The Transformative Power of Art”, in the Visitor’s Lobby at United Nations Headquarters in New York in June 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------- |  | |
