Controversial Art Installation - Naples

A gigantic vagina sculpture just a few steps away from Gaetano Pesce's “Pulcinella”, which caused such a stir last month. Naples, Italy on December 9, 2024. This morning, in Piazza Municipio, Neapolitans were able to observe not one but two works of art. The police intervened to remove the unauthorized installation. Artivist Cristina Donati Meyer's installation, a heartfelt tribute to the ancient origins of Naples, was placed next to Pesce's carnivalesque phallic structure.

The New Installation in Piazza Municipio Causing Discussion - Naples

The new installation in Piazza Municipio is causing discussion, in Naples on October 8, 2024. It is 'Tu si 'na cosa grande', a work dedicated to Naples by the sculptor and designer Gaetano Pesce, who passed away six months ago in New York. The installation, 12 meters high - is a reinterpretation of Pulcinella's dress, with two red hearts pierced by an arrow and is part of the Napoli Contemporanea program. The fact that has aroused curiosity, jokes and not always benevolent comments on social media, is the phallic shape of the work, especially when seen from 'back'. Many comments, most of which are allusive and ironic, others more critical.Photo by Salvatore Laporta/KONTROLAB/IPA/ABACAPRESS.COM
