Study for a collection inspired by apotropaic symbology. The collection explores the apotropaic symbols found in the numerous suggestions of the church of San Giorgio in Petrella Tifernina (CB). A journey through the precious bestiary of Molise, analyzed through F. Valente's text "Le pietre parlanti" (The Speaking Stones). A way to translate forms with strong historical and cultural connotations into aesthetics that nod to the fashion and contemporary world of body decoration. The immortality of the peacock and other symbols.
