On the occasion of the 15th Contemporary Art Day, the Residence of the Italian Ambassador to Israel opens its doors to the public for the first time.
"Naturae", made by the artist Daniele Basso and strongly desired by the Italian Ambassador in the State of Israel Gianluigi Benedetti, under the careful curation of Ermanno Tedeschi, is on show at the Italian Ambassador to Israel Residence in Tel Aviv.
"Naturae" (Nature in Latin) interprets in a contemporary key the universal symbol of beauty idealized by Botticelli in the Venus that comes out of the water, and leads us to an all-round reflection on modernity. "A work - explains the artist - that highlights the need for a relationship between the man himself and the Nature... The real Nature that hosts us... The ones I have methaporically represented certain that whatever happens, she will survive us ..."
"Naturae" is a warning of the need to change course for a better future."
A work that celebrates the Italian Renaissance culture, and is located in Tel Aviv, Israel, the beating heart of history; crossroads of religions, cultures and economics; a border where change is a daily topic, and today, as then, intense pages of the entire Humanity are written.
