The Passing of Master Gaetano Pesce: A Tribute to His Artistic Legacy

“We are deeply saddened by the disappearance of Master Gaetano Pesce, an imaginative artist and tireless experimenter, who in his work was able to combine the languages of art, architecture, and design,” said the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, on the passing in New York, where he lived, at the age of 84, of the master of architecture and design. “For over a year, he was engaged in the design of a monumental work of public art as part of our Naples Contemporary exhibition. An imposing work - he adds - and at the same time delicate, that would have spoken about our city, pairing the archetype of the mask with a living and beating heart, a symbol of the bond with our territory. We will evaluate how to enhance his art in any case.”
