I PROGETTI:
Vittorio Corsini
The gaze of Peccioli
2017
On a terrace overlooking the valley, a time-worn wall is dotted with photographs depicting eyes.
The literature, as well as the scientific research, dedicated to the importance of gaze is vast: "the eye
summarises the face in reflecting the soul", says Georg Simmel; "The eye is the main tool for
observing the reality underlying life," says Robert Lanza, an expert in neuroscience. Blue, gray,
young, wise, bright, cheerful, cunning, melancholic, exhausted, hopeful... the eyes of the inhabitants
of Peccioli, immortalized against a neutral and always identical background, stare at the open
horizon facing them, and echo the ways in which usually we benefit from that place. A multitude of
gazes that ideally turn to the future, aware of being part of a community that is able to transform
itself as it grows, welcoming the new while maintaining the strength of its roots.
