First you cross a tall gate to enter to a manufacturing courtyard. Turn left. Then, while climbing a narrow stair and observing the patio from a progressively higher and higher point of view, you discover many wired details: something that looks like a suspended in the air tree, an enormous thrown down hollow tree trunk and other scattered all over the place strange stuff. Examining a little better, it appears clear that what seemed a tree bark a moment ago is actually an art metalwork. Right. We are at Foundry Battaglia.

Yet the place we are heading to is another one. At the end of the stair there is a little open door. Once inside - not much to see. Yet, there is one object that catches the attention...
Three contiguous rooms are sewed together by one long “table”. Resembling rather a huge concrete slab, the “table” has one particularity: it has cavities. Numerous craters on the horizontal surface were imprinted by various fruits and vegetables whose size, shape and texture can be often recognized. Every visitor interprets the work in his or her own way. Someone sees a “guess” game. Someone tries to grasp the functional benefit of having cavities on a plane surface. Others understand the object as a sculpture. And others again feel it as an architecture and, therefore, try to identify the spatial impact of the object.
Whatever one might have in mind, one thing is clear. The table stimulates imagination. It offers a number of meanings. It has a potential.
