These sculptures belong to the charming village of Bienno, located in Val Camonica, in the province of Brescia. Bienno is officially recognized as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy" and is famous for being a "village of artists", where numerous contemporary art installations blend with medieval architecture.
The work depicts a man and a woman, probably peasants or historical inhabitants of the village, caught in a moment of quiet as they lean over a low wall.
The statues are made in a figurative, material style, recalling local traditions and the daily life of the past.
