He curated and realized all the 36 bronze sculptures, made between 1931 and 1988. Most of the subjects are related to a simple life in the countryside: a girl running after a goose, a mother with her little child, an innkeeper sitting while waiting for the next customer, a woman who secretly peeps from the door.Info: quintomartini.com
