Umbria 1/200

Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi

Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi

Try to imagine if in the pixels imprinted on the icon Umbria took shape through a face that is not an individual but a spiritual synthesis, built like a mosaic of earth and stone, where each tile refers to the interior dimension of the region.The figure, solemn and silent, recalls an almost Franciscan presence, while the architectural elements emerge at the base as fragments of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (Orvieto), translated into essential forms and without superfluous ornamentation.The deepest identity of Umbria is reflected in this composition: a land that does not impose itself with external monumentality but with symbolic and spiritual density.
