ABOUT / TERZO PARADISO

Terzo Paradiso is a symbol of the Infinite, reworked by Pistoletto by adding a large central circle, conceived as a device for transformation and rebirth for a new humanity. Sarajevo will thus become part of the world cities where the "Terzo Paradiso" was realized, which represents an idea of unity between the artificial world and the natural world aimed at a concrete harmonization of opposites.
