I PROGETTI:
Sergio Staino
At the level of the daisies
2016
In May 2015, the new Biological Mechanical Treatment Plant (B.M.T.) was inaugurated at the
Waste Disposal Plant in Legoli.
In 2016 Sergio Staino and his son Michele decorated a series of ten panels with a colourful and
cheerful fresco made of amusing and tender characters, putting together a work of one hundred
meters that decorates the external walls that protect the Biological Mechanical Treatment plant. The
work consists of ten images printed on polycarbonate panels. From a cicada to a lizard and also a
Burgundian snail, a rhinoceros beetle, a tortoise and many more other "small animals that live
among the clumps, in the grass, in the bogs, at the level of the daisies, indeed" as Staino himself
claims. In a procession drawn with an ironic stroke and bright colours, they tell the tale of
princesses and strumpets, military triumphs and brave knights, but also acrobats and musicians,
animating a common working site with colours and presences. The ten subjects are inspired by a
phrase of the photographer Mario Dondero: living at the level of the daisies, those daisies that the
cartoonist also picked all around in the lawn surrounding the plant.
