Basilica of Siponto in Italy by Edoardo Tresoldi

The intervention realized in the Archaeological Park of Siponto rebuilds and reinterprets the three-dimensionality of the ancient Early Christian basilica located close to the existing Romanesque church, which was erected 600 years later.
Detached by strong visual and volumetric decompositions and caressed by the atmospheric factors, the installation outlines a bridge towards the memory of the place and allows the public to relate with time and history. The majestic transparent sculpture presents itself as a contemporary artefact perfectly integrated with the surroundings, and establishes a new dialogue between ancient and contemporary, opening up new scenarios for preservation and enhancement of the historical and archaeological heritage. Contemporary Art and Archaeology interact in a new mix of technique, experimentation, and scientific approach.
