Gaetano Pesce, who passed away on April 3, dedicated a monumental intervention to Naples, consisting of two sculptures in dialogue with each other. The first reinterprets Pulcinella’s costume, placing it on a thin 12-meter-high metal structure, balanced by cables intertwined with synthetic flowers of various colors (at night, this large costume is illuminated from within). Opposite the costume is the second sculpture, a 5-meter-high red heart, also internally illuminated at night, pierced by a metal arrow that supports it, embedded in a 50 cm high triangular wooden platform.

The work as a whole symbolizes the affection Gaetano Pesce felt for Naples and its region, as well as the search for his distant roots (his paternal grandparents were from Sorrento).
