Here! I’m here! Just a little further on there are two wood-stack installations. On the meadow, “Wandering Thoughts”, a work that avoids the static nature that the mind inevitably associates with a wood-stack. The piece gives the wood movement, dynamism, just like the thoughts that run in our hectic contemporary lives, they are transformed, they explode. Thus, the coarsely split logs retain the beauty of naturalness and are composed in a dismantled form, almost “exploded” symbolising the liberty of thought, ideas.

To see the other wood-stack you must look up at the balcony, “Unstable Installation”, otherwise called the collapsing wood-stack. This work is a concentration of allusions: it is a play on Italian words, “installazione” as this installation has been made above a stable–stalla and “in–stabile”, made on a building-stabile, but it is also unstable-instabile. More critical people maybe see it as having been made by an unskilled villager, unable to stack wood properly, though this is of course rare.

The afore mentioned stable, is indeed a stable. To the right, ground floor: “Menantìni’s stable”, which is all explained on the information board. In summertime it might well be empty; remember the cows go on holiday, up to the high mountain pastures! At other times you could go in and stroke them.
