"And while it moves" is the phrase attributed to Galileo by Giuseppe Baretti, who had reconstructed the story of the process of the Holy Inquisition against Galileo Galilei for the English public, in an anthology published in London in 1757 Galileo Galilei (Pisa, 15 February 1564 - Arcetri, 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, astronomer, philosopher, mathematician and academic, considered the father of modern science. Key character of the scientific revolution, for having explicitly introduced the scientific method (also called "Galilean method" or "experimental method"), his name is associated with important contributions in physics and astronomy. Of primary importance was the role played in the astronomical revolution, with support for the heliocentric system and Copernican theory. [...] Suspected of heresy and accused of wanting to subvert Aristotelian natural philosophy and the Holy Scriptures, Galilei was tried and condemned by the Holy Office, and forced, on June 22, 1633, to abjure his astronomical conceptions and to confinement in his villa in Arcetri . Over the centuries the value of Galilei's works was gradually accepted by the Church, and 359 years later, on October 31, 1992, Pope John Paul II, at the plenary session of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, recognized "the mistakes made" on the basis of the conclusions of the works to which a special study commission he established in 1981, rehabilitating Galilei. - Wikipedia The painting Galilei is stripped of his scientist's clothes, he wears only the hat of the heretics, humiliated by the sentence of the Holy Inquisition for heresy, he looks up at God or at the stars that have marked his scientific journey. The Moon, one of the first celestial objects of exploration of its telescope, shows itself in all its beauty. His left hand overhangs a regular compound polyhedron, which was also part of Kepler's studies taking inspiration from Platonic solids. Below it is the book Dialogo dei Maximi Sistemi which involved the trial and condemnation, with subsequent abjuration of Galilei himself, for heresy.

The use of 3D software to create "humanoid" subjects in realistic settings. This is the goal of my figurative artistic research: a contamination between the unreal and the natural in an Ultrareal world, which leads to the enrichment of the sensorial perception of painting. From Augmented Reality, to Video Render, from 3D printing with biological materials to Video Mapping. My investigation concerns the Ptolemaic position of humanity and how it is no longer sustainable that these, not feeling an integral part of Nature, do not respect it. My works recall my passions for physics, astronomy, philosophy and esotericism, to investigate the role of Man with the Universe and with Nature, to induce the awareness that it is necessary to change the position of man from "Ptolemaic" to "Copernican". Themes that are linked to the goals of the SDGs, the Green Deal and New European Bauhaus: a community, also extended to creatives, to propose ideas for politics for a respectful coexistence and development. It must be reflected that Natural Resources (water, land, forests, the atmosphere, etc.) are not to be used and destroyed, but, as for Relational Quantum Mechanics, are a series of relations to which one cannot regardless. Assigning the right Identity and value to Nature for a new balance with the human being, so that we can live together in harmony for the development of all, with respect for all. Here is the importance of open dialogue for a constructive diversity of views, without prejudice, with healthy comparisons to have a critical mind. From my first work "Charon, ferryman of souls", linked to the landings of immigrants in the Mediterranean, with the theme "Ultrareal" I began to investigate the role of Man in the Universe in dialogue with the Platonic Solids, and then continue with "Sabbie Immobili”and the inability to take positions and decisions, subjected to their own political and social inertia. Hence the thrust towards the theme of Nature, the search for human balance so as not to have to imagine a dystopian future. The research also focuses on the use of the work itself: in the 2019 Ultrareal exhibition, in fact, a new way of immersion through AR has created sensorial stimuli and reflection of the works, placing the viewer at the center of the scene (viewer-centered)
