11/5/2014 – Former member Italo Rodomonti has passed away at 88. His sculptures were awesome.

Yes, I saw this on Facebook. He used to send me photos of his amazing art. A sad loss.

Italo and I would converse, as much as we could—with me not knowing Italian and he not knowing much English—every so often. I am always in awe at the sheer scale of his larger works and the flowing beauty of the smaller pieces. We were very lucky to have included his work in the chapter I wrote on sculpture in the IAAA Beauty of Space book. it was in the writing of this that I came to know him more closely. It is said that if you want to know someone, observe and experience that which (s)he creates.
