What is freedom? Perhaps everyone has different views, even in different academic fields, the definition is different, but the yearning for freedom is our innate nature. Regarding this point, the Italian sculptor Matteo Pugliese gave us a perfect interpretation with his sculptures.

Extra Moenia is a series of bronze sculpture masterpieces by Matteo Pugliese. Each of his works is often composed of multiple components, seemingly discrete and broken but a perfect whole, combined with the use of walls to form a built-in style Sculpture works undoubtedly show people’s resistance to breaking free and yearning for freedom. He is immersed in the influence of classical art, and each of his works continues the classic sculpture tradition of Italy during the Renaissance, and his depiction of every muscle and bone is very elegant. They are the posture of human beings in pursuit of freedom, and they are also a vivid embodiment of human power and aesthetics of form.
