the Lebanese Ali Hassoun realize the "rag" in the July Palio
Ali Hassoun The artist will paint the cloth hangings that will go to the district winner Palio of Siena on July 2, 2010. The part will be devoted to the allegorical celebration of the 750th anniversary of the Battle of Montaperti. The Drappellone for the Palio of August 16, 2010 will instead be painted by Franco Fortunato.
Ali Hassoun is a painter originally from Lebanon. He has lived and worked in Siena since the 80s and some 90s. He then attended the Academy Fine Arts and the Faculty of Architecture of Florence, and then 'moved to Milan where he and his work' has established itself internationally. The art has come into his life at age 13 when, in a bookstore in Beirut, his eyes were placed on a volume dedicated to the Sistine Chapel. He was struck by the beauty of the photographs and the effect was that of a shock.
"I'm honored and happy for this opportunity," said Ali for Life. "I, who are Lebanese Shiite Muslim, I have the honor to paint one of the icons more Italian historical and cultural heritage of this country. Besides the satisfaction that I can try as an artist, the reality of this choice has even exceeded the fantasy is becoming more optimistic. It 's a very important symbolic signal that shows that not only the art knows no boundaries or barriers, but may also help to unite people. When men are enlightened, even if they have ideas and beliefs, they s' meet and talk. During the Crusades Saladin met San Francisco. " The painting of Ali Hassoun, not surprisingly, is also a figurative space where civilizations and religions meet. According to critics, the art of Hassoun "can show the profound influences of the Arab world and in particular the theme of travel as a source of experiences and different visions."
