Rome #3 How to allow Rome´s tree stumps to "live again"
ROME
Rome is full of street art but 18-year-old student made a higher level of street art. He was responsible for breathing new life into these lifeless stumps. His name is Gandini and he was working in his garage but one day when he ran out of material he had this excellent idea. Simple but perfect.
Gandini likes to bring dead trees back to life and he said about it: " Wood is a different from other mediums because it was alive. With my sculptures I try to return a certain dignity to these leftovers, usually by carving a face or a bust into a trunk to give it a human identiti". Andrea Gandini
He created more than 60 stumps. Rome also provides a map of where each sculpture can be found. You can also send him a message and ask him for a sculpture. :)
Did you like my third date? I hope you had a fun and enjoyed it. Because when you go on the fourth date, that´s when you´re kinda "dating". Maybe for many of us it´s scary stuff but.. Keep calm and love Rome!

I've been to Rome many times and I like going back. I have however never seen these wooden statues. I will google his name and check where I can get the map for my next visit. I like this kind of creative ideas in big cities. It makes them feel cozy and welcoming..
I see that you keep going to Rome as well.. is there anything what keep you going back or is it just the passion for this beautiful city? In my case it's pure passion :)
Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!
Hi @delishtreats, you should definitely make "tour de tree stumps" and let me know. I have seen 10 of all (maybe) so the map is a good idea. :) The sun, The history, The coffee .. all these simple things keep me gooing back. :)
Have a nice day! :))
