Yesterday I attended the opening of Giuseppe Zago’s Vita della Ruggine exhibition in Montefegatesi. That roughly translates to Life of Rust.
Giuseppe takes rusty bits of farm equipment and old tools and creates whimsical art pieces. Old shovels become faces, long metal rods become birds legs, metal plates become fish, picks become cats, chains become necks for giraffes…new, fun life from thrown away objects.
















Here is the artist.

Giuseppe loves making these wonderful pieces and is unsure about selling them. I think we need to convince him. I have my eye on several items for my garden.

Aren’t they lovely and very clever. I particularly like the sewing machine – that’s fun!
The sewing machine as a tractor is great. I like shovel head with the drawer handle as a moustache.
Love the cats
Me too, and the giraffes.
Most original and interesting!
I like his sense of fun.
