Works of art

"Qanat" The Routes of Heaven by Medhat Shafik (1996)

Among the most intriguing contemporary artists from the Arab world, Medhat Shafik blends the inspirations and colors of the Arab world with Western avant-garde languages, revealing a rich expressiveness that alternates between intense vibrancy and a more reflective, spiritual dimension.

Plow of Didone by Arnaldo Pomodoro (1986)

Designed as a stage machine for Christopher Marlowe's play The Tragedy of Dido, Queen of Carthage, the work is now displayed as an environmental installation near Quaroni's church. In 2005, it was restored by Soldano and Studio Pomodoro. The connection between the work and its surroundings, the geometric forms and the importance of sculptural voids are distinctive elements of the artist, which in this creation in copper, iron and plaster reach their fullest expression.

Baglio di Stefano by Marcella Aprile, Roberto Collovà, Teresa La Rocca (1981)

The reconstruction of the baglio is the only example of rebuilding a settlement damaged by the earthquake that existed prior to the disaster. The project highlights the character of the ruin, with its distinctive elements of a miniature city (squares, courtyards, gardens) typical of ancient feudal estates. It currently houses the Orestiadi Foundation and the Museum of Mediterranean Weavings.

Gates by Pietro Consagra (1983)

Located at Baglio Di Stefano as the entrance to the Museum of Mediterranean Textures, they are characterized by the distinctive and unique forms of the artist. At Baglio Di Stefano, you can also find the artist's works Untitled (1983), Table (1983), and Front Sculpture (1978).

House of the pharmacist by Franco Purini and Laura Thermes (1980)

The building, though isolated, is still connected to the surrounding city. It consists of a main facade and a rear one, enclosing the central core. The design is characterized by its basic architectural forms, which, although seemingly simple, represent the true strength of the project.

Pirrello Home by Franco Purini and Laura Thermes

Located in the heart of Gibellina, the structure follows a well-defined and precise spatial scheme. Its design, which balances structural and supported elements as well as internal and external spaces, reveals a simplicity that is not due to a lack of ideas. On the contrary, it highlights and realizes various distinctive elements, such as the suspended pillar, the supported volume, the corner volume, and the spatial choices, giving the building a unique character.
