About

Sculptures made from 9/11 rubble can be found in an abandoned quarry.

Strange sculptures are scattered within an old quarry, hidden from plain sight beneath a ceiling of open sky. Some sculptures forms recognizable shapes, while others twist and bend into abstract figures. La Palomba, which means “The Dove” in English, is located just outside Matera, a popular tourist spot in Italy famous for its ancient town. Though the sculptures are right next to a main road, they’re easy to miss unless you know to look for them. The artwork is obscured from view, tucked out of sight in a defunct tuff quarry.
