The artist Gerardo Sacco: “My sculpture for the Margutta Prize”

“The idea comes from reality: the presence, right in via Margutta, of a double mask fountain, one laughing and one crying, to represent the Greek comedy and tragedy. I positioned the two faces in two-faced poses, on a base of porous travertine which is the classical stone of Rome “. This is what Maestro Gerardo Sacco, the Calabrian artist from Crotone who created the sculpture for the ‘Margutta Prize’ explains to AdnKronos. The award was given to various personalities from the world of culture and art, music and theater, literature and journalism – from Carlotta Proietti to Luca Barbarossa, from Alfonsina Russo to Serena Bortone, from Daniele Liotti to Rocio Munoz Morales , from Federmoda to the association ‘Strada del vino del Val di Noto’, from Gennaro Sangiuliano to Gian Marco Chiocci director of the AdnKronos news agency – within the Curia Iulia at the Roman Forum. “We have come from a difficult year, I myself have had Covid, I got out of it and now I am also vaccinated – continues Gerardo Sacco – Many companies have had to lay off, but we are proud, even as a man from the South, of not having to send away any craftsman and, indeed, we have had to request an additional commitment to respond to requests, with the opening of new offices also in Rome and Milan “.
