An architecture by Le Corbusier in Orani, in Barbagia, in the heart of inland Sardinia? The idea of such an addition to the cartography of the master of modernism’s work sounds bizarre to say the least. Yet the thing has its own foundation of truth: the sculptor Costantino Nivola, friend and disciple of Corbu, at the end of the 1960s offered a drawing by the architect to one of his brothers who was about to build a house in the town. Upon execution, the drawing, too far from the expectations of the recipient and his family, was totally upset, but the episode was destined to resurface in the work of another artist, Cristian Chironi. A native of Orani like Nivola, Chironi has made it the starting point of a path of reflection on the themes of travel and return, of the intersection and contamination between different places, experiences and cultures.
