During 2017, the artist Fabrizio Da Prato installed his work RICHIAMI in Pistoia, the city chosen by the artist for the values which – being the Italian Capital of Culture 2017 – it was officially promoting (article here)
In a studio, Fabrizio Da Prato painted works of art on a support comprised of discarded promotional posters which were then posted up on thirty-six regularly-purchased advertising spaces.
A year later, he moved the operation to Palermo, with two large images, once again on regularly-purchased advertising space.

“Richiami, Palermo 2018” è un’installazione site specific realizzata dall’artista Fabrizio Da Prato e consiste nell’affissione di opere pittoriche al posto della pubblicità, in spazi pubblicitari regolarmente acquistati. Opere effimere di grandi dimensioni usciranno così dai circuiti prestabiliti dell’arte contemporanea per offrirsi a migliaia di sguardi e a imprevedibili sollecitazioni esterne. Motivo d’ispirazione per la realizzazione dell’operazione artistica saranno le impressioni suggerite dal territorio, dalla storia, dalla tradizione e dalla cultura di Palermo che Da Prato rielaborerà e restituirà liberamente in forma di opera pittorica con l’obiettivo di rievocare l’anima multiculturale della città.
This week comes news that not content with exhibiting in Italy, Fabrizio is now just about to move his work to the other side of the world – to China
每个匆匆行走在城市中的人，都是有故事的人。所有的艺术创作，皆取材于生活，在行走中感受历史，艺术和文化，以人文情怀游览于城市上空，这就是法布里齐奥Fabrizio，一位生长于意大利卢卡的艺术家。
Everyone who walks in the city in a hurry is a storyteller. All artistic creations are based on life, experience history, art and culture while walking, and explore the city with humanistic feelings. This is Fabrizio, an artist born in Lucca, Italy.
他喜欢通过摄影的记录，重温那些城市的历史，风土人情，英雄传说，以及当地土著讲述的故事，这些由壁画、音乐、历史和民间传说组成的故事，还有那些见证了历史的雕塑作品，都在述说传奇人物的荣耀与事迹。
He likes to relive the history of the city, the customs, the legends of the heroes, and the stories told by the local indigenous people through the records of photography. These are stories composed of murals, music, history and folklore, as well as sculptures that have witnessed history. They are all about the glory and deeds of legendary figures. Family.
法布里齐奥Fabrizio用艺术涂料创作作品《上帝之眼》；这是他对意大利巴勒莫（文化之都）-西西里岛首府，这座城市所承载的历史和多元文化的赞颂。
他说：
“我经常凝视那些雕塑的眼睛；作品《上帝之眼》是受了这种感受的启示，把这种形像从《圣经》中取出来。这种目光严厉而甜蜜，从高处观察这座城市，观察着城市的人们，观察着凝视他的行人，成为路上的敬畏者和关怀者。”
Fabrizio uses art paints to create the work “The Eye of God”; this is his tribute to the history and multiculturalism of the city of Palermo (Culture Capital), the capital of Sicily, Italy.
He says:
“I often stare at the eyes of those sculptures; the work “The Eye of God” is inspired by this feeling, and the image is taken out of the Bible. This kind of gaze is harsh and sweet, and this view is from a height. The city, observing the people of the city, observes the pedestrians who stare at him and become the fearers and carers on the road.”
Fabrizio will demonstrate the production of the two works of “The Eye of God” in the Beijing Exhibition on March 8th – 11th. More images from China can be seen here
