This artwork pays homage to Ennio Morricone, the acclaimed composer of the soundtrack for “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso”. Depicted at street level, Morricone, regarded as one of Italy’s most influential musicians of the twentieth century, commands attention. True to his characteristic demeanor, he appears stern yet purposeful. The artist captures Morricone in a striking gesture, with his index finger pressed to his lips, a gesture that does not allow a reply. This powerful imagery conveys a profound message: the essence of music transcends words, which can be misleading and superfluous, because words mean nothing, words sometimes lie. Morricone’s gesture implores us to embrace the silence that gives rise to the melodies that resonate within our souls, reminding us of the importance of moments of introspection and to give space to deeper reflection every now and then.
