Tridimensionalità emotiva a Ostuni

From May 1 to May 7, the Church of the Holy Spirit in Ostuni hosted the sculptural collective exhibition entitled “**Three-Dimensionality of Emotions**,” an event that managed to combine art, culture, and spirituality in a captivating blend. The exhibition featured the participation of seven artists from various Italian locations, each of whom presented their own interpretation of emotions through different materials, techniques, and styles.

The featured sculptors were *Ferruccio Magaraggia* from Cellamare, *Rocco Schifano* from Ceglie Messapica, *Rossanna De Min* from Rome, *Pietro Balsamo and Gioacchino Zaccaria* from Francavilla Fontana, *Giulio Saponaro* from Ostuni, and *Angelo Rapanà* from Carovigno. This diverse group provided visitors with a rich and varied panorama of contemporary sculptural art.

The exhibited works stood out for the wide range of techniques used: from ceramics by De Min and Magaraggia to stone sculptures by Rapanà and Schifano; from papier-mâché shaped by Balsamo to olive wood by Saponaro, and finally to the meticulously crafted bas-relief on cherry and ash wood by Zaccaria. Each material contributed to creating a unique expressive language capable of evoking deep sensations in the observer.

The sacred environment of the Church of the Holy Spirit, with its intimate and evocative atmosphere, provided the ideal backdrop for these three-dimensional works that stimulated emotional and spiritual reflections. The exhibition not only highlighted the creativity of the artists but also strengthened the cultural and tourist role of the church itself, which has now become an essential reference point for locals and visitors alike.

Many tourists, drawn by the cultural and religious appeal, made it a mandatory stop to admire the exhibition, contributing to the enhancement of cultural tourism in the area. The event is indeed part of our Association's activities, which has been committed for years to promoting initiatives aimed at enhancing the local artistic and cultural heritage, creating a bridge between art and the community.

“Three-Dimensionality of Emotions” thus represented a success from multiple perspectives: artistic, cultural, and social. It offered an intense and multisensorial experience, capable of touching the most intimate strings of the viewer, and confirmed the importance of projects that unite tradition and innovation within sacred spaces, enhancing them as places of meeting and growth.
