DESCRIPTION: MUSEUM-INVESTMENT CERTIFIED WORK Stefano De Carli (Italy, 1963) | "Il corpo della materia" (Ciclo Riemersi) — Monumental polymaterial sculpture (10.6 kg) with authentic historic bricks from the Campanile di San Marco in Venice (1902). Year 2026. WORK TECHNICAL SHEET Type: Polymaterial sculpture and conceptual art installation. Dimensions: 41 x 28 x 11 cm Weight: 10.6 kg Year of creation: 2026 (Made at the Artist's Atelier in Arona) Materials: Polished brass, porous volcanic tuff split naturally, and authentic historic bricks from the collapse of the Campanile di San Marco (July 14, 1902).

The dramatic core of the installation lies in the inclusion of the original historic bricks of the Campanile di San Marco, recovered from the sea storms on the Lido shore a few steps from Villa Jolanda (the artist's childhood Liberty-era home). These centuries-old clay blocks are held in perfect centripetal balance by the millimeter tightening of polished brass pins (a symbol of the scaffolding of the reconstruction).

The provenance of the materials is totally transparent and compliant with Public Archaeology protocols of Ca' Foscari University of Venice (
