Peccioli's landfill becomes open-air contemporary art museum with new works by Tremlett and Salvadori

In Pisa, Peccioli has unveiled two significant artworks at its landfill, marking a 30-year commitment to blending contemporary art with environmental sustainability. These installations are part of MACCA, Italy's inaugural open-air museum for contemporary art. British artist David Tremlett's piece, 'Untitled (work in progress),' showcases a wall drawing at the recycling facility, utilizing hues of ochre, pink, brown, and grey. Meanwhile, Italian artist Remo Salvadori’s sculpture 'Germoglio,' located on the roof, represents recycling through five overlapping circles. Mayor Renzo Macelloni described these as the most influential contributions to MACCA. The landfill has transformed into a cultural center, with Tremlett's collaboration beginning in 2017-2018 and Salvadori having previously exhibited there.
