“Giacomo Manzu is one of the biggest talents in contemporary sculpture. There is nothing specifically intellectualistic or theorizing in his works. In my view, the phenomenal naivety is the main feature of his pieces”.

In 1934, the young Manzu was very impressed by a procession of cardinals, which he saw during one of the ceremonial services in St. Peter’s Basilica. Since that moment and until the end of the 1960s, this motif was always present in his graphical works and sculptures.
