#ThailandFlightEvent I happened to visit a diamond-like modern sculpture museum in Matera. I was able to see Alberto Timossi's Croce work. The red cross was installed inside an old cave dwelling, and it was even more impressive because it was Matera. I was surprised again when I saw that the material Timossi used was plastic. Seeing that plastic, which we often use in real life, was used for different purposes for art, his work Cross felt even more different. I recommend you stop by when you visit Matera. #italytravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel #ItalyTravel
