Skultocity: art that lives within cities<\/h2>\n

Bressani\u2019s sculpture <\/strong>enters the museum as the beating heart of the
\n Skultocity<\/a>
\n<\/strong> project, born in Matera itself.
This artistic vision intertwines art, culture, and sustainability, weaving a network between Italian and international territories. The chosen medium is fabric\u2014a living, symbolic material<\/em>, emblematic of the renowned Sculture Vestite<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Here, sculpture is not only form but storytelling. Matera<\/strong> becomes the protagonist of a new artistic chapter, written through folds, textures, and colors.<\/p>\n

The role of the museum and director Rossella Mauro<\/h3>\n

Essential was the openness of director Rossella Mauro<\/strong>, who recognized in Bressani\u2019s work the ability to converse with the museum\u2019s historical heritage while projecting it into a new cultural dimension.<\/p>\n

With the inclusion of this piece, the MNM<\/strong> collection is enriched by a sculpture that speaks of memory and transformation, resonating with the cultural and social identity of the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A sculpture dressed in history and future<\/h3>\n

The work welcomed in Matera is crafted with fabrics and reassembled materials, typical of Bressani\u2019s style.
Each element forms part of a narrative that unites art and craftsmanship, history and contemporaneity. Fabric<\/strong> is not decoration but a symbol of connection between past and present, between the city and its collective identity. <\/p>\n

A universal language made of folds and seams<\/h3>\n

The sculpture offers a dynamic image of Matera: a city in motion, imbued with legend, beauty, and memory.
It invites reflection on the value of art as both a social and symbolic instrument<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
