Alessandra Urso, Italian Artist and Sculptor
We have been contacted by a friend of the Italian sculptor Alessandra Urso who wished to bring to our attention to her recent work, Monumento Due Carrare. The bronze sculpture at Due Carrare, located about 40km south-west of Venice, is a public monument dedicated to the fusion of two local regions: Carrara San Giorgio and Carrara Santo Stefano. This impressive four metre statue, placed at the roundabout in the centre of Due Carrare, rotates due to a huge underground clock. The work was commissioned by the Local Council in and was sponsored mostly by large, local companies; however, the City of Padova funded the roundabout on which it was erected in 2009. Alessandra Urso lives and works in the region.
