Under the branches of a willow tree, quietness. 

The willow is a tree that creates shelter with its soft hanging branches. 

Nostalgic and healing, soothing in its leaning to the ground. 

A great symbol of the cycle of life, the feminine cycle and the power of the moon. 

Its branches become harmonic sound elements, hydrophones that produce sound vibrations through small metal bells, which in the wind or as people pass by give back a melody of notes with an ancestral appeal. 

Like arriving on the bank of a placid river, in a great enchanted nature in which to connect to one's own primitive frequencies. A soothing landscape to be played together to lull oneself into breathing and meditation. 

At Palazzo Litta, an immersive installation with willow branches twhich give life to the space with their branches made up with the precious textile work of Antica Fabbrica Passamanerie Massia Vittorio 1843 Torino, with the contribution of Paolo Borghi, a music therapist and musician who has intoned all the sound balance of the bar chimes of our branches. 

Metal contains within itself the sound of the universe and the energy of vibration to bring us back together on paths of mutual care and relational calm.
