The people of Ghizzano were to see their medieval village transformed by the works of Tuttofuoco, David Tremlett and Alicja Kwade, and I myself had mixed feelings: enthusiasm, but also fear, resistance or, worse, indifference. As the work progressed, however, the citizens&#8217; concerns gave way to curiosity, and then turned into pure pride, strengthening the general sense of belonging to the community. A few days ago, back in Ghizzano for the inauguration of <em>Endless Sunset<\/em>, Tuttofuoco&#8217;s work that wraps around and \u201caccelerates\u201d Peccioli\u2019s new pedestrian bridge, I found a place where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peccioli.net\/category\/luoghi\/ghizzano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">art is truly a tool for reflection<\/a>, critical thinking and social change, where the works are not resolved in their presence, but rather in the process that generated them and, above all, in the dynamics produced by their existence in that particular context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/01_PatrickTuttofuoco_EndlessSunset_2021_Peccioli.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14128\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\"\/><figcaption>Patrick Tuttofuoco in Peccioli for the inauguration of <em>Endless Sunset<\/em> (behind him)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peccioli is a small Tuscan municipality on the road from Volterra to Pisa, and Ghizzano is one of its hamlets.
