Luigi Lineri has spent six decades sculpting “La Ricerca”, a sprawling, poetic collection of pebbles with human and animal shapes, some reminiscent of mysterious prehistoric figures. As each stone finds its place, it becomes part of a larger mosaic of memory, mythology, and meaning. This intimate portrait invites us into a sacred labor of devotion, where creation becomes a bridge to the origins of human expression.
