TRA is an “interactive” sculpture at Parco Sculture del Chianti. It consists of two distinct parts divided by a small canyon; each of these reclining sculptures (or “platforms”) can be reached by a short, steep descent. Lying on one of the seats, the visitor finds himself in an unusual position in which he can comfortably stop and contemplate the nature of the park.

The materials used for the platforms, marble and travertine, are typical of the Sienese area from which they were extracted and also refer to the long tradition of Tuscan art and architecture: where the strips of white and green marble of the second platform represent a direct reference to the Cathedral of Siena.

Although using traditional sculptural materials, TRA is a scrupulously contemporary work: it is interactive, not monumental, anchored to the ground as an isolated, serene and inviting presence.
