The publication is a collection of photographs which documents the project by the artist Felice Varini at the Bellinzona Castelgrande.To capture the three circular fragments which interact fluidly in the space composing the landscape of and around Bellinzona, the observer needs to find just the right viewing angle between the merlons of Montebello Castle, facing towards the Castelgrande. This is the perspective that the author has projected in his design. For some months, following the inscription of the castles and the defensive walls onto the UNESCO World Heritage List, the observer has been offered a unique view of the city and buildings being adorned by surfaces of red. These traces were incidental, without cohesion between them, but highlighted, arbitrarily and yet significantly, the city and its buildings.The pictorial device which has been put in place preserves some presuppositions of the contrivance of the perspective, and envisages an external observer, immobile in front of the image plan. At the same time, however, it also affirms our participation in the interpretation of that which is being exhibited, through the movements in the given space, and in this diversity of viewpoints.The situation with which the artist is confronted is, however, rather unusual, and for certain verses it deals with a work "at the limit".

It deals with a fresh, untried concept, given the great distances involved, and the range of practical supports which needed concrete forms of identification. Above all, it was an opportunity to test the projection techniques, as well as the creation of images via pre-printed monochromatic strips adhering to the various surfaces.
