Fraudolenti media doctors - 2021
In Canto XXVI of Dante's Inferno, we find the famous exhortation "you were not made to live like brutes but to follow virtue and knowledge", a call to a life guided by reason and the search for truth. In the circle of the fraudulent, Ulysses represents the abstraction of deception, using the word to manipulate his men, leading them towards a tragic destiny. In a contemporary context, one can compare the figure of Ulysses to the media doctors of COVID, who, according to Thanhoffer, deserved a place in this infernal circle. They, using their eloquence to distort information and deceive public opinion, follow in the footsteps of Ulysses, betraying the trust of many and putting the lives of others at risk for their own gain. Dante's lesson remains relevant: truth and virtue must always prevail over deception.

"The Wall of Como" is an evocative work that stands as a symbol of protest against the wall project conceived by the Municipal Administration to contain the flooding of Lake Como. Through its creation, Munico wanted to express dissent and concern for the environmental and social consequences of such interventions. The wall, instead of representing protection, becomes a warning about the problems related to land management and landscape protection. With its presence, the work invites us to reflect on the importance of finding sustainable solutions that respect the natural balance, testimony to how culture and art can actively intervene in the public debate regarding the safety and protection of our environment.
It's not the Eiffel Tower
"It's not the Eiffel Tower" an observation to the PGT of Como in 2009 to bring water back to the city and to put a monument on the Como dam.
The discussion on the redevelopment of Como's (PGT) was enriched by Enrico Thanhoffer's proposal, aimed at bringing water back to the center of city life. "It's not the Eiffel Tower" is the title of the work/project presented as an observation to the PGT with also the idea of erecting an iconic monument on the Como dam which could revitalize not only the scenic beauty, but also the sense of identity of the city. It was an invitation to reflect on how cultural and natural heritage can be reconnected, creating public spaces that encourage social interaction and tourism. This ambitious project could act as a catalyst for positive change, bringing water back to the heart of the city and attracting visitors. Then events went in the opposite direction, the Administrators chose to expand the city towards the lake and later invited architect Daniel Libeskind to place a monument on the dam.
