Ferruccio Carletti (nicknamed Fero, after “Iron”) is a self taught sculptor since his childhood. He loves making experiments in his creations, using different matters and techniques. After several attempts, he finally lands to the technique that will be its signature: his artworks are made with original WWII relics, collected across the countryside of Agro Pontino, which is his homeland as well as theatre of bloody battles such as the Landing of Anzio. His purpose is to spread messages of beauty, harmony, peace, daily tranquility, and of course love by these objects from the war that have a new dignity.
