We were lucky enough to meet the artist at work and he explained the meaning of some of the 1400 carved stones. A small correction on PietroLub's comment: the artist has lived in Albino for about 25 years, having moved from Cavernago and Seriate, and began this work in September 2013.
There are numerous videos on Youtube, search for "remo ponti albino".
The artist passed away in May 2025:

It is a boundary wall that only a careful glance does not escape that the stones that compose it are carved with goldsmith's stonecutters. The artist is Remo Ponti an 83-year-old gentleman from Albino who started sculpting the stones of this boundary wall at the age of 6 and it is still there that he continues his work
