This striking sculpture Hombre de Paz is more than just art. It’s a symbol of hope. A vibrant reminder of the peace that can blossom even in the most unlikely places. It’s a striking 11-meter-tall structure. Its colors resembling the Italian flag are a unique touch.
Created by Constantino Nivola in 1968 it was initially part of the Ruta de la Amistad. The Ruta de la Amistad was a project involving many artists. The Hombre de Paz sculpture remained an abandoned ruin for 35 years before its rebirth. Its relocation and restoration were a collaborative effort. It involved the Italian Embassy and the Sardinia region.
Today the garden surrounding the sculpture is meticulously maintained. It’s thanks to a partnership between Pirelli and Techint. The companies show their dedication to the community’s green spaces.
