It was inaugurated in Pietrapertosa, June 20 2008, the summer school "The look and the landscape. Art, nature, tourism, with a keynote by Professor. Arch Pure Franco, University the Sapenza in Rome entitled "Issues of landscapes." Pure Franco is among the most famous Italian architects, dealing in particular with theoretical questions, attentive to the great changes taking place in the world of globalization.

Itinera is a proposed route in the Dolomites Lucane and neighboring countries, nature and landscapes, art and culture. Watching the landscape means to surrender to the immediate suggestions that spring to our eyes, to discover the work of nature and the presence of man in time, those places that has marked its history, made of struggle and love for him.

The nature and the signs of human history intersect with the look of the Dweller, the visitor and the artist in the wonderful game of creation. The meeting with the territory and the landscape is characterized by the look that the artist has placed on it, without any intention of distorting the vision, but in a dense and tight dialogue, meant poetically. And just one mark on a ground to invoke archaic evocatively mysterious presence, as great on the rocks of Castelmezzano.

Giancarlo Blacks, with his artistic work, has succeeded in not easy. Influenced by the surroundings, from the stories, the faces of the inhabitants of Castelmezzano, meeting with students of the course, in collaboration with local craftsmen, among the rocks of an installation Castelmezzano by way 'of an underline of a landscape already richly fantastic.

The challenge The project is in this, the will, ie, to interact with things that apparently can be far apart, but instead, they can find intimate harmonies. Contemporary art, with Giancarlo Blacks, with humility and greatness is measured by the landscape so much power in love and mutual respect. Nature, this, that can become a meeting place for men and also a source of economic wealth for quality tourism can develop.
