Within the archaeological park of Siponto, near Manfredonia in Foggia, in 2016, the Italian artist Edoardo Tresoldi was tasked with creating a grandiose work: the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Commissioned by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Activities, and Tourism, it is a permanent installation recreates the appearance of what was supposed to be the early Christian basilica built on this spot. Edoardo Tresoldi, class of 1987, was listed by Forbes in 2017 on its \u201c30 under 30\u201d list. \u00a0His trait is to work with wire mesh, creating gigantic installations that produce an alienating effect due to the “lightness” of the material with which they are made. \u00a0The Siponto work, which has an evocative title, \u201cWhere art reconstructs time\u201d, is 14 metres high, weighs about 7 tonnes and took 4,500 m of wire mesh to create.<\/p>\n

Definitely worth a visit in the southernmost part of the heel of Italy, is the house of Ezechiele Leandro, Apulian artist and a tormented and controversial figure of contemporary art. The “santuario della pazienza”, the name given by the artist to his house museum in San Cesario, was inaugurated by Leandro himself in 1975 after 15 years of work. Entering this corner of the world, now surrounded by high walls to avoid looting and vandalism, is an experience. The entire area is covered with carvings and mosaics representing the Apocalypse, the passion of Christ, the last judgment, the monsters with which Leandro fought and mythical figures produced by a brilliant and complex mind. Visiting this place means being astonished in front of a magnificent “poetry” made from materials, some of which are waste materials, turned into marvellous\u00a0works.<\/p>\n
