Questi lavori di recupero dei materiali invita l'osservatore a riflettere quanto possano essere utili ogni tipo di materiali che noi nel nostro quotidiano tendiamo a scartare e gettare sempre più freguentemente non curandoci mai abbastanza all'ambiente, nostro mondo essenziale alla sopravvivenza.

Sergio Massetti, a contemporary Italian sculptor, distinguishes himself through a unique artistic approach that revolves around the use of old metal tools from peasant civilization, expertly assembled through welding techniques. Born out of a philosophy rooted in material recovery, Massetti's works carry the essence of the materials they are composed of, conveying the rich history embedded in old irons.
Massetti's artistic journey is characterized by a passion for assembling and transforming materials, repurposing items like spoons, forks, springs, screws, and nails - objects destined for abandonment in landfills. While his love for art has deep roots, it was only five years ago, at the age of 50, that Massetti decided to relinquish his role as an entrepreneur and fully dedicate himself to his artistic pursuits.
A significant aspect of Massetti's artistry lies in his ability to travel and explore the hidden talents scattered throughout Italy. In the quaint Tuscan hamlet of Citerna, near Sansepolcro, Massetti discovered his own artistic calling. Despite his shyness and introversion, Massetti's artistic intentions are clear - he creates for the sheer pleasure of transforming inspiring materials.
Sergio Massetti refrains from categorizing his creations as mere "sculptures." Instead, he views them as assemblages of objects - old, modern, ancient, and curious. His art is an ode to the act of reanimating, giving new life to forgotten items through thoughtful modification and transformation. Unconcerned with conquering or astounding, Massetti's humility shines through as he values the inherent worth of the materials he employs.
