THE GENESIS

The Foundation was born from the idea of ​​the internationally renowned Sardinian sculptor Pinuccio Sciola to carry out the more complex and planning activities of his work in an institutional manner, involving his heirs to give continuity and future to his work and his philosophy of life.

On 22 July 2016, two months after Pinuccio’s death, the Pinuccio Sciola Foundation was founded by his children Chiara, Tomaso and Maria.

The Foundation embodies the projects and the spirit of openness, hospitality, sharing and respect for nature and people that have been the founding values ​​of Pinuccio’s entire “millennial” life.

The PINUCCIO SCIOLA FOUNDATION, an institution responsible for promoting the memory and the message of art of the sculptor from San Sperate who died on May 13, 2016 in Cagliari, was conceived by the international lyren owned artist in his last period of life.

Pinuccio Sciola was a traveler, a personanimated by a visceral need to know different places, people, places and cultures, but with the firm will to always return to his roots, to his land, each time enriched with new experiences.

He lived in San Sperate in the large Campidanese house on Via Enrico Marongiu, 21.

This house always had its door open and will be the head quarters of the Foundation and the basis of new projects with international significance and strong roots in the land of origin.

Transforming Pinuccio Sciola’s house into a museum that offers anyone the opportunity to enter his world to understand its origins, strength and ingenious simplicity, is one of the Foundation’s primary objectives.
