PRINCIPIO D'AUTUNNO means Autumn's Beginning in italian. Is a bronze sculpture from the "ICAROS" series by Francesca Dalla Benetta. The piece depicts a female figure with wings, her form and floral-adorned hair evoking a connection to nature and spirituality. The title suggests a seasonal change, symbolizing both internal and external transformation.
The artwork explores the human desire for transcendence and the risks of pursuing lofty goals. The wings, while functional, serve as a reminder of the limits of aspiration and the fall that accompanies ambition. PRINCIPIO D'AUTUNNO reflects the duality of human ambition: the struggle between desired freedom and the inherent danger in the pursuit of the sublime.
