Filemone e Bauci is a cast aluminium sculpture of two humanized columns standing arm in arm while beholding the new soaring towers before them. The architecture of the past observes that of the present. Baucis and Philemon are two ancient Greek mythological figures who grew old together enduring the hardships of life thanks to the strength of their union and were the only ones to welcome Zeus and Hermes when they showed up at their door in need of shelter.
