Michelangelo Pistoletto: Terzo Paradiso

Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the birth of Pistoletto’s manifesto Terzo paradiso (Third Paradise, 2003), Magazzino also unveiled the monumental permanent installation, Terzo paradiso, situated on the museum’s grounds. As project managers, we played a crucial role in coordinating the placement and distributions of all the stones to meticulously conform to the desired presentation of the artwork. Realized with forty-six stones excavated during the construction of the Robert Olnick Pavillon, this installation reflects the deep commitment of Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu, the Co-founders of Magazzino Italian Art, to act as ambassadors of Third Paradise.
