Botero and Versilia: a love story

Botero and Versilia: a love story

The love at first sight of an artist for Pietrasanta, a land full of charm



The Colombian artist Fernando Botero has periodically stayed in Versilia since the seventies, creating works in the artistic foundries and laboratories of the area.
Famous throughout the world for his paintings depicting women as fat as they are beautiful, in 1983 Botero decided to buy a house in Pietrasanta , choosing the beauty and quiet of the olive groves that accompany the road up the Rocca. It is not difficult to identify the artist's house, just look for a roof surmounted by a round bronze rooster, whose short wings are constantly stretched towards dawn.
In the town that has bewitched his heart, Botero also opens an artist's studio: a large room not far from Piazza del Duomo, where in the summer he retires to design and assemble his sculptures.
Botero loves to live in close contact with the people of Pietrasanta, while his art enters more and more into the city fabric: since 1993 two large frescoes entitled "The door of Paradise" and "The door of hell" attract the eye inside the Chiesa della Misericordia, while in Piazza Matteotti an opulent Roman soldier shows passers-by an ironic bellicosity (1992).
Since 2001 Fernando Botero has been an honorary citizen of Pietrasanta, a return to his origins: in the distant 1780 his ancestors, the brothers Giuseppe and Paolo Botero, sailed from the port of Genoa to Medellin.
