In the work, I wanted to remember the 12.11.2003 where, in Nation
far away and on a Peace mission, in addition to 5 Italian Soldiers and 2 Civilians,
12 Carabinieri died.
In the foregroundthere is a crater whose sides are decorated with friezes (Flame)
whole or in part, red, of the blood of the Fallen.
From the crateran indefinite figure stands, sad, absorbed, absent, shocked:
it is the Italian people.
On the sidethe black, the darkness of the nation, lost by the event.
Yetwalls torn apart by the explosion.
A white stripe. The detachment from the homeland, from the homeland.
Above the figurepartially hinted at, a lamp, an unmistakable headdress
of the Carabinieri, dominated by the Flag, offended by the event (there is a stain
of earth on top of the white).
From the bloody friezes, it raises a spirituality that it goes to reunite with
the other Fallen and thus reconstituting, detached from the other elements of the picture and
in the center of the crater, “the flame that does not go out”Which continues to
perpetuate the example to future generations.
