ORIGINES
The Architect-Designer Stefano Trapani turns to Archeology for his contemporary projects. His inspiration leans towards the Antiquity and the cultural roots that have defined the Western civilization during the past two millennia. The profound influence of the systematic excavations in Italy, first at Herculaneum and later at Pompeii, created a widespread and influential artistic movement in the mid-18th century – Neoclassism.
The project for Moderne Art Fair drew inspiration from his personal vision of concealed arts of the Roman era, hidden beneath the cinders, and from the power that the discovery at the foot of the volcano had been able to produce, thus becoming a completely contemporary creation, suggesting other imaginaries all stemming from a visit to the third Italian Xylotheque.
Nourished by these reflections/insights, Stefano restores important buildings and mansions in his country, he designs hotels, and also very contemporary CSR houses, he renovates apartments to improve the living quality of their inhabitants and/or to host art collections, both in France and abroad.
