The gigantic Cosmic Magnet by the Italian artist Gino de Dominicis, 24 metres long, 9 metres wide and 4 metres high, is a truly enigmatic and mysterious sculpture, with its monumental anthropomorphic skeleton and a long bird’s beak in place of the nose; a phalanx, instead, is "pointed" by a golden rod, a sort of magnet that is supposed to be oriented towards the centre of the universe. To get up close and personal with what is considered to be one of the most important examples of 20th century Italian sculpture, you will have to enter the former Church of the Holy Trinity in Annunziata, the second museum centre of the CIAC (Italian Centre for Contemporary Art) in Via Garibaldi 153/a. A work realized in great secrecy around 1988.
