Short Review

This is a work by Salvo whose theme is the representation of the archaeological ruins of a Mediterranean environment, especially in Sicily. Salvo left Sicily with his family when he was five years old and moved to Turin. But evidently the fascination of his native land, probably told by his parents, and an awareness of his own origins, which are Greek-Sicilian, often led him to represent archaeological landscapes that are only dreamed or imagined. Furthermore, the place is on the sea and therefore in this case Salvo will have imagined the ruins of a city like Imera or Selinunte. Of Imera, destroyed by the Carthaginians, very few testimonies remain, some bases of some temples and some columns. Of Selinunte we have many testimonies of its past, temples, buildings, squares, hippodrome.
