The Green Adige at Castelvecchio
Full Title: The Green Adige at Castelvecchio – Agenda 1993
Author: Paolo Mariani
Original: Acrylic and Paper on Canvas, dimensions 80×100 cm
“Il verde Adige a Castelvecchio” (The Green Adige in Castelvecchio) is one of the works that has attracted the most interest, so much so that it will be exhibited at the Maxxi in Rome alongside “La città macchina” (The Machine City) by director Dario Biello, as an “iconic image” of the film. It is characterized by an interesting contrast between the cool vertical colors (blues and greens) and the warm horizontal colors (oranges and ochres) that “cut the canvas in half.”
The author explains the genesis of the work:
Under the majestic arches of the Castelvecchio Bridge, I’ve passed hundreds of times, navigating the wonderful waters of the Adige with every kind of floating craft: kayak, rafting raft, jet ski, electric surfboard, stand-up paddleboard, even swimming with fins and hydro speed…
That day, however, for work reasons, I had the opportunity to contemplate this beautiful river from the top of the rampart walk, inside its battlements, and immediately the verses from Carducci’s nursery rhyme about King Theodoric came to mind.
In that moment, I truly felt in his place, as he gazed from the top of his castle at the flow of his green, transparent waters. On a sunny day, the contrast with the red bricks, the bright blue sky, and the emerald reflections that formed on the water filled my gaze with joy and happiness. I couldn’t help but try to capture these infinite shades on the canvas.”
