Every macro detail, texture, and historical imprint tells a deep story that words alone cannot fully explain. STEFANO DE CARLI | CONCEPTUAL MASTERPIECE AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL AFFECTION New Conceptual Path: "RIEMERSI" "The Body of Matter" A fragment of millennial history that re-emerges from oblivion and transforms into pure three-dimensional avant-garde. "Il corpo della materia" (2026) is not simply a sculpture; it is a metaphysical altar where Italian monumental archaeology blends with the brutal, minimalist tension of contemporary matter. The fourth fundamental chapter of the celebrated cycle «Riemersi», the work marks the apex of the polymaterial maturity of Master Stefano De Carli, celebrating a bold and total conquest of expressive independence. The dramatic and conceptual fulcrum of the installation lies in the inclusion of authentic original historic bricks from the Campanile of San Marco in Venice, dating to the traumatic collapse of July 14, 1902. These centuries-old clay blocks, baked by time and returned by the tides on the Lido shoreline after having rested on the seabed for over a century, carry in their saline, leaden grain the collective memory of a nation. The artist extracts these historical bodies from the darkness of the past and suspends them in a perfect center-of-gravity balance that defies gravity, fixing them with precisely milled brass pins and tension joints, symbols of the scaffolding of reconstruction. The historic bricks dialogue powerfully with an imposing perforated block of porous volcanic tuff, a magma-like, archaic material worked by natural crack, serving as an ancestral counterweight. The piece’s deep poetic sensibility roots itself in the dynastic memories of the Master, tying indissolubly to Villa Jolanda — the Liberty-era family residence of 1931 at the Lido of Venice, where the artist lived with his parents Alessandro De Carli and Teresa Ida Molinari, breathing the cradle of Venetian avant-gardes of the postwar period. The radical juxtaposition between the sponginess of the tuff, the drama of time etched in the ancient brick, and the golden gleam of metals creates a unique tonal and structural contrast. The project sits within Ca' Foscari University of Venice and the Italian Ministry of Culture’s scientific Public History and Archaeology program as part of the cultural project 'El Paron de Casa'. The November 7, 2021 session (Slot 11:50 / 12:10) saw approval of the investigative protocol for the ad hoc site visit.

"Il corpo della materia" (2026) is a monumental polymaterial sculpture by Master Stefano De Carli, representing the pinnacle of his «Riemersi» cycle. The heart of this conceptual artwork features authentic historic bricks from the St. Mark's Campanile in Venice, dating back to the historic collapse of July 14, 1902. Recovered from the Venice Lido shore after a century on the seabed, these ancient clay fragments are suspended in a perfect baricentric balance using bronze and polished brass pins. The historic bricks interact with a raw, porous volcanic tuff block, creating a dramatic contrast between ancient history and contemporary architecture. This museum-quality masterpiece is part of the official scientific program backed by Ca' Foscari University and the Italian Ministry of Culture. A premier investment piece for international collectors.

DE CARLI COLLECTION | ARCHIVIO GENERALE STEFANO DE CARLI Where the Past Becomes Elegance and Memory Becomes Form Welcome to the Stefano De Carli Archive Space (1963), a conceptual place where time stops and elegance spans the ages. Here, every work presented directly by the artist is far more than a collectible piece: it is a fragment of family history, a biological emotion, and a dynastic journey that unites three centuries of Italian visual culture, from Venice to the contemporary. Our mission is clear and passionate: to bring to light the deep spiritual value of matter through the rigor of Spatialism and autonomous three-dimensional sculpture. The historical file of the De Carli Collection roots itself in the cradle of the lagoon avant-gardes of the postwar era, inextricably linked to the figure of the great historian and art critic Giuseppe Marchiori (founder of the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti in 1946, mentor of Emilio Vedova and Renato Guttuso, and interlocutor of Peggy Guggenheim). This extraordinary aesthetic sensibility grew and matured among the Liberty salons of Villa Jolanda at the Lido of Venice, crossroads of childhood dialogues with the master of international abstraction Leone Minassian. Operating independently, Stefano De Carli’s research unfolds through the multi-awarded historic monocrome external surfaces (where light geometrically redefines the space of the canvas) and reaches the monumental new installations and sculpture-books of the Riemersi cycle. Unique investment pieces, fully certified with authentic signature, artist’s fingerprint, and archival photo expertise, designed for those who can recognize timeless beauty. Let yourself be guided in this endless tale, where every creation is an invitation to rediscover the past with fresh eyes.
