Dopopaesaggio
"In Fiano-Certaldo, on the occasion of one of the events of Dopopaesaggio, an initiative conceived to look at the theme of the garden in relation to contemporary art, Salvadori created Il lunedì piantare il ciliegio, e allo stesso tempo il giglio bianco, il caprifoglio, la ninfea. . ., 1998. It was a pond placed at the center of the courtyard of the Castle of Santa Maria Novella. Here water became part of a project in which a dialogue was established between other natural elements like water lilies, a cherry tree, a honeysuckle plant, a white lily, and a sculpture in white Carrara marble formed out of seventeen ellipses that radiated from an 'open' center like petals of a flower or the iris of an eye."
