2004 | 2014 ten-years of the defacement in the Sculpture Park in Casoria
CAM MUSEUM promotes the "Towing away" which aims to remove the ruins of the works of art in order to restore them and guarantee the safe maintenance.
All of this, even without administrative permissions, even if it means of being arrested.
In 2004 CAM MUSEUM gave some extraordinary works of art on a free loan to the Villa Comunale of Casoria.
At the time, Antonio Manfredi invited many international artists who gave their help to place the sculptures in the Villa.
Unfortunately, after 10 years these works (made of marble, iron, stone and wooden) have been seriously damaged.
Many reports have been made during these years but despite this, the "Mess" in the Villa keeps on going on.
Among the works are: the work of Renato Barisani (one of the most important Neapolitan artist, recently passed away), the Spanish Fernando Barredo, the Slovenian Metka Erzar, the Bulgarian Simon Kamen, the Japanese Kawakami, the Croatian Vladimir Gasparic, the Chinese Suo Tan, the Italian Luciano Campitelli, the German Gisella Jackle and finally the work of Antonio Manfredi.
These works have seen decades of neglect and they're still vandalized by people who should appreciate instead of ruin them.
The guilty indifference of mayors and council members during these years and the lack of importance given to the art by all the citizens, caused a terrible mish-mash against the protection of the works of great value.
As a consequence, it comes as no surprise to anyone what it is still happening to the neglected ruins of Pompeii, the ancient city in a perilous state.
In a land such as Casoria and the entire Neapolitan hinterland, harassed by Camorra, bad politics and contaminated with toxic waste, where the right to health is jeopardized, CAM MUSEUM and its Director Antonio Manfredi throw down a new challenge in order to defend the culture as a common asset.
Antonio Manfredi is the main supporter of the "towing away project", even without administrative permissions.
