Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it (Bernard Meltzer), and this presentation is like happiness. You must share it to enjoy it, because Love is a universal theme celebrated in art since the beginning of time

Wilfredo Prieto (Cuba, 1978) Kiss, Milano
Prieto's Beso is now part of ArtLine Milano, an open air collection into the public park realised in the area of CityLife. The artworks form a single permanent exhibition, fully integrated with the architectures of Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind. It took four years and as many attempts to find the two tonalite rocks of the Adamello.
The indications of the artist, the Cuban Wilfredo Prieto, were mandatory: the two pieces, which placed together form the charm of a kiss, not only had to be twins and weigh 100 tons each, but above all they had to be erratic boulders, which in geology means blocks of stone transported by glaciers far from their place of origin, therefore modeled by nature and not artificially by man. Because the sense of the work "Beso", in addition to referring to the hundreds of kisses that dot the history of art, lies in the contrast between the rough and millenary stone of the Dolomites and the man-made landscape of skyscrapers in the background, fragile and fleeting.
Christoph Pöggeler (German, 1958) Sculpture of a kissing couple standing at the top of a advertising column, Düsseldorf, Germany
Christoph Pöggeler (German, 1958) One lovely art projects are the Säulenheilige (which are Stylites in English) In German Säule is a pillar and Heilige are Saints and in this case, they are actually standing on pillars. There are ten realistic sculptures around town
The artist, Christoph Pöggeler, wanted to create life-sized statues that represented everyday normal people. Why? Because why not put everyday people up on a pedestal for once? We are so accustomed to admiring beautiful pieces of abstract art upon pillars, but never do we have a chance to admire people much like ourselves up in the limelight. These sculptures have been inspired by everyday people – office workers, tourists, moms, couples, etc

Bassano del Grappa is a city (region Veneto) in northern Italy. In 1815 it was included in the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, and became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1866. Napoleon Bonaparte remained in Bassano del Grappa for many months. The original name of the town was Bassano Veneto. After the terrible battles on Mount Grappa in WWI, where thousands of soldiers lost their lives, a decision was made to change the name of the town. In 1928, the name was changed to Bassano del Grappa, meaning Bassano of Mount Grappa, as a memorial to the soldiers killed. Ernest Hemingway during his days as an ambulance driver in the war spent many days in Bassano and eventually settled there as part of A Farewell to Arms. Also other American writers spent some days in Bassano during WWI such as Scott Fitzgerald and Dos Passos
The symbol of the town is the covered wooden pontoon bridge, which was designed by the architect Andrea Palladio in 1569. The bridge was destroyed many times, the last time during WWII. The Alpine soldiers or Alpini have always revered the wooden bridge and Bassano del Grappa
“On the bridge of Bassano” is a song from the repertoire of the Alpine troops, set on the Bassano bridge, known for having been razed to the ground during the Second World War by the Germans and then rebuilt by the National Alpine Association, based on the design of the architect Andrea Palladio in 1569. Since then it has taken on the attribute of "bridge of the Alpine troops". In the text, the soldier remembers the kiss given to his beloved on the bridge
The famous "bacin d'amor" of the song of the Ponte di Bassano, absolute "must" of the romantic rhetoric of black feathers, was immortalized by a bronze sculpture located in Piazzetta Angarano, at the entrance to the Destra Brenta of the Ponte degli Alpini
