Public Gardens in front of Piazza Dante Alighieri is a small, curious as a monument. To be precise, is located near the so-called "chalet." Many of you will have noticed, and who knows, one of the youngest in those who are focused on trying to unravel the meaning.
First, the first thing to ask is why is was created and by whom. Walking around on the north side, the one that looks towards the chalet can be traced an inscription. Although a bit 'worn by time and partially covered with a small colony of moss, it is still legible, though no longer so clear.
Memorial Gardens, particularly the epigraph
this writing, is curious, you do not notice at first sight. You need to "make us" the eye. That is, if someone passes in front of the escape did not notice anything, do you want for the small incision, either because it is very close to a hedge.
" Ing Arch Mario Salvadori, an ancient family of San Miniato, created the gardens of this historic hill descending towards the plain hard work. In the centenary citizens recall grateful. "
Well, now you explain a lot. E 'then the monument celebrating the centenary of the construction of the gardens. In fact, in the vicinity of the epigraph are also two dates from 1883 to 1983.

The designer, therefore, was Mario Salvadori, Mario Salvadori namesake of the structural engineer at Columbia University in the United States, a few decades younger. This is a strange case of homonymy.
who want information on the homonymous Mario Salvadori:
But "our" man is another: is the artist of this composition. Do not really want to be called an artist, but simply "Master Chief". He is Silvano Bini.
It 's really amazing as well stubby hands and worn from years of hard work in the yard can get out of small to large works of sculpture. Like this.

Dilva Lotti was that contacted him to do so. Silvano Bini accept and realize for the City of San Miniato this work, as mentioned, in 1983.
This commemorative monument has certainly achieved the objective of curiosity, to bring, to ask questions. What does it mean? What does it mean?
And the brilliant mix of elements that attract the attention of the passerby. One can not help but soffermarcisi front, if only for a moment. The answer to everything is in the rear, near the hedge. The centenary gardens.
The monument to the Public Gardens of Piazza Dante Alighieri
In this work we found many aspects of games. First, the puzzle: the art of small different pieces fit to form a complex that goes beyond the meaning of each element. This happens with both elements of the brick base, but also between different parts of the material: brick, stone and iron. Building materials. Rough, sometimes poor. But carefully orchestrated to create new forms, new meanings. One can not but notice the irony in being so seemingly random environment within a highly designed, calibrated, which is the Public Gardens. A kind of "cowlick", which does not bend, which wants to make life itself, but that depends on the context, without which his position will no longer revolutionary. There is also a theatrical aspect in the figures carved in stone. They are like masks.

It is no coincidence that Silvano Bini, is pleased with the fact that children are the biggest beneficiaries of his work. It 's very happy with this. And has the only regret that hedge behind: it prevents the children running around.
Fun is also something that happened a few days prior to placement of our products. Silvano Bini tells it like it happened yesterday. He arrived in his laboratory "Piampiani the architect of the City" and demanded an explanation about the curved rods. Evidently they were not to his liking and would have preferred them to be removed immediately. Silvano Bini, meanwhile, justified himself by saying that the two needles were used to load and set his work. On the day of the metallic elements were still there. And they still are today, with great satisfaction by Silvano Bini.
