    Tips

    September 5, 2023

    The open-air exhibition offers a walk among the animal sculptures by Davide Rivalta (Bologna 1974) in the green spaces of the Falcone d'Italia. The sculptor from Bologna plays with the randomness of the encounter between humans and animals and conjures up a distant and wild landscape that contrasts with everyday life. The memory of the zoological garden, which operated near the fortress between 1912 and 1988, is also brought back. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to admire previously unseen sculptures created specifically for the Castle of Brescia.

    The exhibition aims to build a bridge between the beginnings of Rivalta's career and his current international success.
    The gorillas, the first series of animals created by the sculptor, became the symbol of his debut. After twenty years, the Castello's new gorillas - along with orangutans, chimpanzees and baboons - will bring its artistic development full circle.
