Gibellina né “completamenti” né “ricostruzioni” per il grande cretto di Alberto Burri

n 1981, Burri created an artwork in Gibellina, on the site of an old village destroyed by the earthquake that hit Belìce in 1968. Cretto, with its 65,000 square meters, is the largest known works of Land Art. It was realized in three years.

Cretto just needs care. to enhance and promote this art work, conservation must try to remove the degradation
