Thousands come together around the work of this Italian artist that is so in tune with Pope Francis’s Laudato sì. For years Ciro has been recycling scrap material for his creations. 
Known as Ciro, Roberto Cipollone not only welcomes visitors, but runs workshops for young and old that bring them into direct contact with the materials that will be transformed and modeled together: “a pure way of seeing, simple, direct contact with the beautiful without any tinsel,” says the artist. Besides the studio in Loppiano, which is the true creative workshop, a permanent workshop has been set up by Sergio Pandolfi.
Ciro’s exhibition at Camaldoli
During the month of August Ciro is displaying 40 more or less religious works at the Monastery of
Camaldoli, in a small Romanesque church dedicated to the Holy Spirit that is located within the monastery. “The pieces and the Romanesque architecture go together perfectly,” Ciro says, “I’ve brought some works in stone and wood – and the Romanesque environment makes them come alive.” Many visitors to Camaldoli can admire, enjoy and even pray with the pieces within the deep silence of the monastery. The show will be open on weekends from August 21st to September 13th. But that’s not all. This summer Ciro tried his hand at setting the stage for a touring stage show in
Perugia, surrounded by the stunning setting of the Rocca Paolina.
