Dolmen - Marco Nereo Rotelli

Marco Nereo Rotelli was born in Venice in 1955, where he graduated in architecture in 1982. For years he has pursued a research on light and on the poetic dimension that Harold Szemann has defined as “an extension of the artistic context”.

Over the years Rotelli has created an interrelation between art and the various disciplines of knowledge. Hence his involvement in his search for philosophers, musicians, photographers, directors, but mainly his relationship is with poetry which, over time, has become a constant inspiration for his work.

In 2011, on the occasion of his solo show at the Palazzo Reale in Milan, he created an installation in Piazza Duomo consisting of twelve Carrara marble monoliths on which verses donated by great poets on the theme of identity are sculpted.
Each of these sculptures had different destinations, in the name of Union. From the Milan seaplane park to the port of Genoa to Villa Bertelli in Forte dei Marmi.
The piece in Arena Po is part of this project.
