Also for this year, the Laviosa Foundation is making a contribution of 1,000 euros to support the under-35 award as part of the local event of the Rotunda Prize City of Livorno 2024.
The Rotonda Prize is the longest-running art award in Italy and Europe and opens its doors to artists from all over Italy.
The Laviosa Foundation, aware that art also constitutes an employment sector, invests in younger people (under 35).
For this edition, the award went to Leonardo D’Addato, only 16 years old, and his marble heart, carved in the garage of his home: the first time Leonardo, an art high school student, created a work of this magnitude in Carrara marble.
Leonardo would like to be a sculptor when he grows up!
“Vitalis,” his work is a material heart, a pulsing epicenter of anatomies and veins carved on Carrara marble. A work that sings the praises of persistence that defies the passage of time.
A young artist who portends virtuous future developments.
