DAVIDE FOLETTI
TALENTO is an intense and refined tribute that captures the artistic and musical essence of the famous guitarist from Bologna Federico Poggipollini. The sculpture uses a technique of overlapping metal sheets with burnished and gold finishes, creating a three-dimensional effect of great impact.
The central element is the stylised silhouette of Capitan Fede with the guitar, depicted in an evocative pose that conveys dynamism and passion for music. In the background, an abstract engraving recalls the skyline of Bologna, his hometown, while the writing "Bologna e Piove" is a clear reference to Poggipollini's artistic identity, underlining his connection with Bologna and his solo musical career, in addition to his career with Ligabue.
The use of metal gives the work a sense of strength and resistance, while the oxidized shades and engravings create a visual contrast that emphasizes the connection between music and matter.
TALENTO is a powerful and evocative tribute, capable of celebrating the rock soul and expressive energy of Federico Poggipollini with elegance and originality.
