The Passion of the Christ | Ciro's art renditions

 

Yesterday, I was looking around for some Arte Sacra (Sacred Art) made by Ciro just in time for the celebration of the Holy week. I was intending to find crosses and the like but I was surprised to have stumbled upon a set of artworks titled Passione di Christo (Passion of the Christ).

Finding these photos in the archives felt like digging a treasure chest :)

In this set of artworks, Ciro told me that he wanted to depict Christ's passion by using zappe (hoes). These agricultural tools, combined with nails, wires, bolts, washers, and others; effectively depicts that which Jesus went through.

You may scroll through these photos and share them to your friends to set the atmosphere of solemnity in this season of Lent.

Have a solemn and reflective celebration of Lent everyone.

Insider's preview of La Bottega Di Ciro

Buon Giorno!

Today let me guide you to a mini-tour about the life inside the bottega (shop) of Ciro.

This place is really interesting because it houses a lot of Ciro's artworks and it is where his creative spirit pushes the imagination to the limit.

Ciro has perfected his craft through this small little house and people from all over the world, flock to the La Bottega di Ciro (The shop of Ciro) with eyes of wonder and curiosity.

The first day I arrived here, my head was turning 360 degrees, it was a visual feast. True enough,  I discover a new thing every single day that I stay here. Ciro has approximately created 16,000 unique artworks, up to date.

How did he do that? 

It makes me wonder as well, and I think that would be a good topic to write about in the blog posts that will follow.

So welcome, let's get inside the La Bottega Di Ciro!
