The Quest - You can build a universe one stone at a time
Luigi Lineri has spent six decades sculpting “La Ricerca”—a sprawling, poetic collection of stones mimicking prehistoric tools and figures. As each stone finds its place, it becomes part of a larger mosaic of memory, mythology, and meaning.
This intimate portrait invites us into a sacred labor of devotion, where creation becomes a bridge to the origins of human expression.
