Nespolo’s connection to sculpture has been evident since his early days during the Arte Povera period, through installations and sculptural works that engage in dialogue with the avant-gardes of the time. This evolutionary path led him to create figures that verge on the absurd, evoking almost surrealist sensations. These works not only seem to come to life but also establish a dynamic relationship with their surroundings, altering the atmosphere and generating bursts of exuberance that transform the very perception of reality.

Often placed in urban settings, Nespolo’s sculptures interact with their surroundings, infusing them with new vitality. A striking example is the monument Lavorare, a towering seven-meter-high work located in San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic coast. This sculpture is inspired by the verses of Dino Campana, which are translated into tangible forms just steps from the sea. The strategic placement of the work transforms poetic words into a sensory filter, allowing the viewer to almost physically perceive the sound of the waves.
