Pannello in gres smaltato dell’Istituto “Oriani”

A large high relief of 1966 created as a decoration for the façade of the Istituto per Geometri “A.Oriani” – senior high school for surveyors.

Explaination: A large high relief mounted on the façade of the Istituto Tecnico-Commerciale per Geometri “A.Oriani” – Technical-commercial senior high school for surveyors, next to the main entrance. It was made, like a further three located inside (they can be seen by simply asking permission at the school) in 1966. Here Zauli counter-posed the rigid horizontal lines of the building with the soft waves of his panel in which a geometric form – the rectangle – is repeated in a way that is always slightly deformed, and nearly animated. At each extremity two different forms stand out: one is a bowl (a kind of archetype of the ceramic object) and the other is a sort of reticular cage probably symbolising the perforated brick, a modern, symbolic construction element.
