Color Blu Stramilione

Color blu stramilione does not exist, and to me it means that no blue could be bluer than this.

Diego Perrone

Hypermaremma is pleased to present Color Blu Stramilione, a new site-specific project by Diego Perrone, unfolding across two interventions between the Grotta della Tagliata in Ansedonia and the Casa dello Scheletro in the Parco Archeologico dell’Antica Città di Cosa.

For a few hours each day, sunlight filters a natural cavity in the cliffs of Ansedonia, reaching the seabed concealed within. It is at this precise point that the first work – created through a distinctive glass-casting process – captures and refracts light, transforming the submerged space into a shifting, kaleidoscopic environment. Conceived in dialogue with the underwater landscape of the Maremma, the intervention brings together light, water, and matter as essential components of the work itself.

The project extends to the Ancient City of Cosa, where a second work is presented within the Casa dello Scheletro, establishing an ideal connection between the seabed of the cave and the ancient harbour of the Roman colony. Also realised in glass, the sculpture emerges as a hybrid of sacred effigy and rural symbolism, forging a strong connection with the history of the Maremma landscape. Two distinct yet deeply interconnected interventions traverse places marked by a millennia-long relationship with the sea.

Color Blu Stramilione unfolds as a journey through the submerged landscape, bringing to light the profound connections that bind this territory to the sea and to its millennial history.
