As part of the site-specific projects promoted by the museum as a way of exploring and reading the territory, the project Resistances represents the example of a happy collaboration between different institutions that have measured themselves with the role and work of an artist like Giacomo Costa.

Florentine by birth, he began his photographic research through the study of the human figure on the landscape, first mountainous and then urban, until he felt the desire to intervene decisively on the image, which finds its maximum expression through the manipulation that the use of technologies digital tools offer him, thus shifting the focus of his work onto research activities halfway between painting and photography.

His reflection starts from what commonly distresses the contemporary world, natural disasters, speculation, pollution, the reckless exploitation of natural resources, translating these and other issues into images highlighted by his words when he declares that: «The behavior of man and the development models that society pursues lead the world in a direction in which paradoxically there will no longer be room for living beings. In the era of global language, brands, uniformity of thought and taste, the individual risks isolation and marginalization. It is in this scenario that the strong symbols of the past, the roots of the culture of peoples and peoples survive unscathed over time and eras. This is the contemporary meaning of resistance.”
