Inaco Biancalana & Gionata Francesconi
Fonderia Mariani (Pietrasanta) 2007 |
Biancalana's original sculpture dates from 1947 and is only 95 cm high. The main meaning of the work is hope. The statue depicts a family waiting anxiously for the arrival of the ship. The sculptor had always wanted his work near the sea, which he felt very fond of. In fact, after several attempts and permits, the town approved the placing of a bronze statue, larger in size. So Gionata Francesconi, one of the most well-known carpenters of the Viareggio carnival, accepted the project and made some personal changes to the work.
