Abbracci - The Exhibit


The centerpiece of the art exhibit by Gaetano Grillo was the title sculpture, "Abbracci." The shell of two human forms is painted gold on one side...

...and covered with various signs and symbols on the other side. The use of only beige on beige writing with white outlines is somewhat new for Grillo, who has often used bright primary or pastel colors.

SS98

State Road 98 is a lonely two-lane highway leading from Bisceglie (the next town to the north of Molfetta up the Adriatic coast) inland to Andria. It is full of curves and people tend to drive it too fast. They get impatient with the cautious drivers (you know, the ones who respect the speed limits, what are they thinking?!) and pass recklessly. Driving in Italy is not for the weak of heart!

* Bonus points for those of you who noticed the subtle continuation of my leafless tree theme in this photo! ;-)
