Door stop

“Roma Città Aperta”. The reconstruction of an oversized wooden doorstop is intended as a “monument”, both to evoke an imaginary door that opens and remains permanently open, and to commemorate the sacrifices made by the Resistance in affirming an anti-fascist sentiment. The city of Rome keeps its door open even today, continuing to offer those spiritual contributions. The placement of the work in front of the Oratory of the Santissimo Sacramento evokes the search for peace and hospitality, placing itself in dialogue with the two marble statues by sculptor Paolo Benaglia, depicting “Faith” and “Hope”.
