Imagine that he had set up a pedestal on which he placed an elegant plexiglass cube, artistically illuminated, right at the entrance of his workshop to highlight the coveted Grolla d’Oro<\/strong>, recently awarded to Roberto Cipollone (known as Ciro)<\/strong>. But those who know him well understand that he would never boast about it, much less with a display. “I put the Grolla d’Oro somewhere, but I assure you I keep it,” the 77-year-old artist from Pescara explains, almost apologetically. “The award was made by a craftsman, and I have the utmost respect for them.”<\/p>\n

Over 150 artists from various countries participated in the 44th edition of the international art award “La Grolla d’Oro”, based in Treviso, Veneto. The competition is divided into painting, sculpture, and photography sections. Ciro won in the “sculpture” category, ahead of 36 colleagues, with a work titled “The Final Destination”<\/strong>, depicting a crowded boat of immigrants facing the sea towards freedom from poverty and war. The participants’ works were exhibited from December 9th to 31st last year at the picturesque Santa Caterina art museum in the city of Treviso.<\/p>\n

Ciro’s participation in this competition was entirely original. The artistic director<\/strong> of “La Grolla d’Oro,” Massimo Zanta<\/strong>, had come across some of the artist’s works at an art exhibition in Longarone, 80 kilometers north of Treviso, some time ago. He was particularly impressed, describing each of those sculptures as “a poetry that reaches the heart<\/strong>.” The deadline for registration for the 2023 edition of La Grolla had already passed, but Zanta insisted with the prize committee to include one of Ciro’s works. And that sculpture won the award, which was announced in January.<\/p>\n
