Forsoultree: new life from dead wood<\/h3>\r\n

G<\/span>nizio<\/a> has unveiled his latest work, Forsoultree, which combines a centuries-old oak trunk with the artist's gesture. The work was installed in part of the Monte Ceccheri Memorial Park in the grounds of the Villa San Michele, creating a unique sensation in the prestigious space where Leonardo da Vinci first experimented with flying machines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

During the restoration of footpaths through two and a half hectares of beautiful woodland, Frontera Gardens<\/a> informed the managers of the Villa that they had come across the large trunk of a centuries-old holm oak tree that had likely fallen during a storm. The extraordinary occasion and captivating setting led to the idea of involving the unique talent of Luca Gnizio, an artist capable of grasping the essence of the material and transforming the trunk into something new and rare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gnizio is an eco-social artist who faithfully adheres to the \"three Rs\" - reduce, reuse, and recycle. Thanks to his inspiration and determination, he manages to create new levels of beauty, content, and meaning out of what would normally be considered waste. Using powerful creative gestures, the artist invites us into the tree where the sap once flowed to touch the wood, to smell its fragrance, and to feel the energy of the holm oak.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

There, you can lie down and contemplate the view overlooking Florence, or the rocky wall of the old quarry inside Leonardo's wood from two seats, one facing the valley and the other uphill. A deep basin carved into the trunk provides ample seating and an opportunity to connect with nature from the heart of the tree.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

About Luca Gnizio<\/h4>\r\n

Luca Gnizio, born in 1981 in Lodi, created a new field of professional expertise in 2009: the ECOSOCIAL artist, a pioneering approach that is now internationally recognized. Thanks to his artistic and technical training as an industrial designer, and his commitment to safeguarding the environment, Gnizio's works made with recycled industrial waste materials have given rise to an innovative artistic trend that embodies ecological and social purposes. Taking the principle of the \"three Rs\" - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle - to a new level, Gnizio's innovative approach is not confined to an in-depth study of the individual company concerned. By underlining the importance of the wider community, he has successfully grouped and involved local and multinational companies together with community associations to bring about ecological circular economy projects, and hence his ECOSOCIALLY neologism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
