New Italian landscape painting

Assets confiscated from the mafia Read more..

One of the nefarious assets we have at our disposal is the mafia. or rather the mafias. We were the first. We have had the very first imprimatur of a criminal state that has succeeded many times in replacing the sovereign one. My work wants to use precisely this Italian specificity. To show the goods. miserable at times. for whom this ·honourable Society·. with one of the highest turnovers in the world. has become industrial. He has committed criminal acts. He has colluded. has infiltrated and transformed part of our civil assembly into complex. more or less distracted. It is a story that brings with it stories of heroes as well as people of ill repute. of victories of the league as well as defeats. There is·. Like almost everywhere. the good and the evil within this
work. but the difference is that here the evil is not only the result of the pathological aberration of a single psyche. here a system has been created. costume. social blockbuster. before all the other countries in the world: thanks to the exchange vote. intertwining with institutions and politics and the industrial and financial sectors. And a situation that for me justifies the title NEW ITALIAN VEDUTISM. Trivial visions processed on the computer complete with the Palermo address and value attributed by the state property reported at the bottom. of houses, land and palaces. for which many have absurdly died. Narration of an Italian social drama. temporarily suspended. blocked from the return of these properties to the rule of legal law. But at the same time highlighting the horrendous progenitor of these victories.
