…but why didn’t you make
havoc of the vines full of berries,
to the March rains?
…why didn’t you intoxicate
the wine in the barrels with poison?
From “Notti longa”

On the Volcano in Dance: Harmony Between Earth and Endurance
On the wings of revenge, the dance of stones
on the slopes of Etna
This work captures the essence of endurance and the eternal cycle of nature. The canvas depicts lava that, turned to stone, forms walls along the paths, creating a foreground of stones in harmony around a snowy, erupting Etna. This dance of stones, a symbol of life and warmth, evokes the theme of peasant revenge, transforming the struggle into a celebration of the earth’s resilience. Vines and wine, emblems of this struggle, tell the story of a people who find in the volcanic earth the strength to resist and renew themselves. Each sip of ETNA BIANCO SENSI DOC then becomes a hymn to Sicilian resilience, a vivid reminder of the perpetual dance between nature and man on the slopes of the volcano
