It has been amazing walk around the city with the eyes up to the sky, watching this enchanting lights, full of magic.
All the city has became a open air tale!

Here a piece of the tale 'Luì and the Art of Going Down to the Woods' by Guido Quarzo - Via Carlo Alberto. Each light is a phrase. Meanwhile walking you can read the tale. ("...the silence took him away, so the rumor spread that there was an ogre in the woods..."):

"Soldiers were sent in and they disappeared too":

Here the description of this installation:
"Luì and the Art of Going Down to the Woods is the fable written by the novelist Guido Quarzo. The artist interprets the fable as a sort of "open book", understandable by everyone, from young to old people. He tells word by word how Luì the Lunatic succeeded in finding the children lost in the Silent Woods. At the beginning of the 70's, Mainolfi entered the artistic scene of Turin, and nowadays he is one of the most representative artists of Contemporary Sculpture within the Post-Conveptualism. Since his earliest stage, he has been sculpting using natural materials (earthenware, plaster, wood, and lava stone), as well as melted bronze. He says, '(...) it is always the material that inspires me, the life of the materials'."

This installation is 'Piccoli spiriti blu' ('Little blue spirits') - by Rebecca Horn is on the "Monte dei Cappuccini". From this view you can see Turin and the tower of "Mole Antonelliana" in all its charm!
