10 - MARMO NELLE VISCERE – Marble in the Guts - A journey through art, marble, and identity (Virginia Conti and Michelle De Paris)

by Virginia Conti and Michelle De Paris

Marble in the Guts is a project that invites to discover marble quarries as spaces that unite tradition and contemporary art. The quarry becomes a stage where the past is not a limit, but a foundation for new artistic visions. Marble, rooted in the territory, transforms into a symbol of resilience and innovation, capable of crossing time.

The project offers a sensory experience that stimulates reflection on stone as a story that evolves. Marble in the Guts challenges convention and invites to reconsider the relationship with the past, rediscovering a deep bond with earth and art. The space hosts public and private events, enriched by modern technologies such as projections and video mapping, creating a unique visual experience, especially after sunset. The Digital Stone Project demonstrates how such an approach can be replicated in the future.

To reduce environmental impact, the project uses minimal printed materials, limiting itself to bilingual banners and a magazine collecting the projects. Websites and social networks are tools to keep the public updated, also offering a digital archive. In conclusion, the project invites to rediscover the connection between art, marble and territory, transforming marble into a symbol of innovation and transformation, a language that tells stories across centuries.
