Colorful Sails Above Piazza Faber in Sardinia

Renzo Piano and Alvisi Kirimoto + Partners have added a vibrant and ever-changing installation to the rustic Piazza Faber in Sardinia. in Tempio Pausania, a town of about 14,000 inhabitants in the northern part of the island, the architects have realized a series of colorful sails that fluctuate in the sky, animating overhead pedestrians and passersby to the lively public space. dedicated to the late italian singer-songwriter Fabrizio de André — whose friendship with piano became a important source of the project — the installation serves not only to celebrate the artist as ‘one the most sensitive interpreters of human nature’, but also to highlight the beauty and importance of small towns across italy.
