Over 70 works by Mimmo Paladino have enlivened the historic centre of Brescia and its excellent museums - the Parco Archeologico and the Museo di Santa Giulia, on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2011 - offering an artistic journey that invites one to admire both ancient splendours and new forms with renewed amazement.

The works of Paladino are imposing presences that are simultaneously discreet, bringing about a new awareness of the spaces in which they stand. This volume, thanks to the photographs by Ferdinando Scianna and the poems by Aldo Nove, offers testimony of this new experience for the city with which the Brixia Contemporary project was launched.
