At the occasion of the 63rd of the furniture and design event “Salone del Mobile,” Robert Wilson created a vision of Michelangelo’s sculpture “Pietà Rondanini” in its own dedicated space: the “Spanish Hospital” at Sforzesco Castle. This work, entitled Mother, is accompanied by the sounds of Arvo Pärt’s masterful “Stabat Mater” (played by a live ensemble in some selected presentations).
The approximately 25-minute durational installation is now being presented for a limited run at the MAXXI Museum in Rome. It reconstructs the “Spanish Hospital” space and features the so-called “Gariboldi cast” of the Pietà Rondanini.
Show times today are at:
11:30 AM - 12:00 PM
