South Tyrol. The Other Italy. Elizaveta Ebner
of this decision may say, vandalism of an art object. This is, above all, an appeal to critical memory.
As to those who asked to treat the bas-relief solely as an art object, I would like to ask them a question. Do they really believe that Piffrader’s work, glorifying the era of Fascism and standing on the land affected by two dictatorships, should be considered out of context and studied exclusively as “art for art’s sake”? The bas-relief of the South Tyrolean master is not a sculptural composition devoted to peace, goodness and beauty, but a totalitarian message, containing a definite appeal to “believe, obey and fight”. Do we really need to evaluate only the talent of the sculptor who moulded these words, without thinking about their meaning?
