Legion of Shadows

OLTRELADOMOOOO

The demo-ento-anthropological itinerary describes some aspects of Loculi’s folklore, traditions, popular culture and strong religious vocation with a reference to the agro-pastoral activities and small historical, but relevant, craft realities present.

The environmental-naturalistic itinerary tells the peculiarities and relevance of the natural environment of the Loculi area which includes extraordinary landscapes, habitats, species and is part of the prestigious MAB-UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Tepilora, Rio Posada and Montalbo.

The historical-archaeological itinerary tells the testimonies left by the civilizations and cultures of the past and the relationships they established with the surrounding environment in the form of buildings and architectures.
The innumerable and different archaeological sites of different periods and conformations are still observable today even in the land close to the inhabited centre.

Route Environmental - Naturalistic
Sub-route Stone faces
Installation Widening Via Vittorio Emanuele

Everything we can see with the naked eye is the result of light bouncing off a subject and reaching our retinas in the form of an image. The sun that makes its daily arc and illuminates our world is the most powerful and precious source of light we could imagine. Its position changes throughout the day, the seasons and the centuries. A jagged granite ridge is continually redrawn by shadows and lights, taking on the appearance of a disturbing figure in which multiple faces, bodies, hands and mouths intertwine, assembled together like fluid magma, giving life to a legion of elemental spirits that dwell in the rock, but even more in the suggestions of the observer.
