Visit Labirinto di Arianna (Arianna's labyrinth), Fiumara d'Arte, Messina, Sicily, Italy

Add to My List Check Off

Arianna's Labyrinth was created by the sculptor Italo Lanfredini in 1990 and is currently part of the open-air museum “Fiumara d'Arte”, a cultural tourist route made up of 12 large contemporary art installations in the small town of Castel di Lucio, nestled between the Sicilian mountain ranges of the Nebrodi and the Madonie, in the province of Messina. Inspired by the myth of Ariadne and Theseus, which has its roots in ancient Greece, the work is inspired by the theme of the ascent to purity, a sensory experience. The visitor finds a text that says: “The labyrinth is a reflection, it is the spirituality that derives from a type of “motherhood”, expressed in a sweet concentric display of circles that culminates in an aspiration from above, to the sublime. ”
