(Cuba, 1978)
Kiss,
Milano

24. Prieto's Beso is now part of ArtLine Milano, an open air
collection into the public park realised in the area of CityLife.
The artworks form a single permanent exhibition, fully
integrated with the architectures of Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki
and Daniel Libeskind. It took four years and as many attempts
to find the two tonalite rocks of the Adamello.

25. The indications of the artist, the Cuban Wilfredo Prieto, were
mandatory: the two pieces, which placed together form the charm of
a kiss, not only had to be twins and weigh 100 tons each, but above
all they had to be erratic boulders, which in geology means blocks of
stone transported by glaciers far from their place of origin, therefore
modeled by nature and not artificially by man. Because the sense of
the work "Beso", in addition to referring to the hundreds of kisses that
dot the history of art, lies in the contrast between the rough and
millenary stone of the Dolomites and the man-made landscape of
skyscrapers in the background, fragile and fleeting.

27. Christoph Pöggeler (German, 1958)
One lovely art projects are the Säulenheilige (which are
Stylites in English) In German Säule is a pillar and Heilige
are Saints and in this case, they are actually standing on
pillars. There are ten realistic sculptures around town

28. The artist, Christoph Pöggeler, wanted to create
life-sized statues that represented everyday normal
people. Why? Because why not put everyday people
up on a pedestal for once? We are so accustomed to
admiring beautiful pieces of abstract art upon
pillars, but never do we have a chance to admire
people much like ourselves up in the limelight. These
sculptures have been inspired by everyday people –
office workers, tourists, moms, couples, etc

32. Bassano del Grappa is a city (region Veneto) in northern Italy. In 1815 it was included in the Kingdom of Lombardy-
Venetia, and became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1866. Napoleon Bonaparte remained in Bassano del Grappa
for many months. The original name of the town was Bassano Veneto. After the terrible battles on Mount Grappa in
WWI, where thousands of soldiers lost their lives, a decision was made to change the name of the town. In 1928, the
name was changed to Bassano del Grappa, meaning Bassano of Mount Grappa, as a memorial to the soldiers killed.
Ernest Hemingway during his days as an ambulance driver in the war spent many days in Bassano and eventually settled
there as part of A Farewell to Arms.
Also other American writers spent some days in Bassano during WWI such as Scott Fitzgerald and Dos Passos

33. The symbol of
the town is the
covered wooden
pontoon bridge,
which was
designed by the
architect Andrea
Palladio in
1569. The
bridge was
destroyed many
times, the last
time during
WWII. The Alpine
soldiers or Alpini
have always
revered the
wooden bridge
and Bassano del
Grappa

34. “On the bridge of Bassano” is a song from the repertoire of the Alpine troops, set on the Bassano bridge, known for
having been razed to the ground during the Second World War by the Germans and then rebuilt by the National Alpine
Association, based on the design of the architect Andrea Palladio in 1569. Since then it has taken on the attribute of
"bridge of the Alpine troops". In the text, the soldier remembers the kiss given to his beloved on the bridge

35. The famous "bacin
d'amor" of the song
of the Ponte di
Bassano, absolute
"must" of the
romantic rhetoric
of black feathers,
was immortalized
by a bronze
sculpture located in
Piazzetta
Angarano, at the
entrance to the
Destra Brenta of
the Ponte degli
Alpini
