Borgo Museo | Sculture 1976 – 2004

Biography

Tito Amadori is the only artist of the Borgo Museo that we have no information about.  All we know is that he created the sculpture “Pesci” in the Castagno open air museum.  Like the other sculptures, it was installed between 1976 and the ‘80s.

So we’re looking for information about his life, background and his relationship with Castagno.  Anyone with any news or memories is invited to contact us by email at castagnodipiteccio@gmail.com or by callinig the Pro Loco. THANK YOU! CdP staff
