 G: What is it made of?A: It's made t*. It is made of the same earth of Emilia Romagna, from which on things we've been eating grow. So the idea behind this sculpture is that you are going to your death, and I, as a memeber of the company of the good death, want you to have as good death as possible. And if you look at Crhist's dead figure lying, while Mary the Magdala grieves over him, while Mary Magdalene twists her face since the scream of anguish. Somehow, this emtion will transmit from that sculpture into you, and you will feel these things in your heart, and you will be moved to turn to the priest who companies you on the sacffold. You will comfess and maybe, just maybe, the sculpture may help to save your soul.  

G: I think it does achieve what it is done for, isn't it? 

These sculptures are refined and sophisticated, yet unashamedly proud of their roots, having grown out of the humblest marterials, the Emilia Romanga clay itself.
