Artist's Interpretation:

"Il Cavaliere" reproposes the relation between Time and Space. It is at once the simplest and the most abstract of relationships. It is the simplest because when you move from a place to another, it takes a certain time; it is the most abstract because even if you stand still and let your mind move as your body would, it would also take a certain time. So every step in space is a step into time. Man's existence is most evident in the ruins he leaves behind. There is part of an aqueduct with heads of stone that testify to some mysterious ritual, with a sculpted woman who leaves the acqueduct and walks into the Past when she was made of flesh and not of stone. There is "Il Cavaliere" on his horse galloping towards the Present when, no longer young, he is made of stone (head of "Il Cavaliere" over the niche). Only when he crosses the arch of Time this metaphysical relationship is cemented. (Under the vigilant glace of a passing cloud, the hermetic gallop of the Artist into history is sanctioned.)
