The first complete monograph published on Costantino Nivola, an artist whose work touches on various crucial themes for twentieth-century art: migration and the construction of identity; the artist’s relationship with the public sphere; the integration of sculpture, painting and architecture; art and political and civil rights; the idea of ​​the Mediterranean as the cradle of civilization and the myth of the primitive. Many of these themes are becoming increasingly important in contemporary culture.

Based on extensive archival research and richly illustrated, the book offers reasons of interest both to scholars and to a more general audience.
