"In 2004 Elisabetta Di Maggio used a scalpel to engrave the plaster of a corner of the first room of the house museum, bringing to light layers of previous paintwork: a meticulous, patient, daily work. The result is 'Senza titolo - Muro #5 [Untitled – Wall #5]', an elegant contemporary wall lacework. The artist was inspired by some fragments of fabric which had once adorned the palace rooms and that are now conserved in the Fondazione archives. Burgeoning memories trace connections between past and present, evoking a reflection on time, a theme dear to the artist and to ‘Conserving the Future’, the Fondazione’s contemporary art project. "
