Cornello is located along the Via Mercatorum, the oldest road that connected Val Brembana with Valtellina in the Middle Ages.
Seat of an important market until the end of the 16th century with the construction of the new road, the Priula, Cornello became an important center of commercial exchanges, a passage of people and goods. It owes its name to the ancient Tasso family who managed the imperial post offices of the Habsburgs and the Papal State.
CAMPOSTABILE wanted to create an installation that would recall the history of the village, right inside the ruins of the ancient residence of the Tasso family, of which only the foundations, some walls and an arch remain. A series of sculptures made by using casts, 3D scanning and local green sandstone dust, alternate with waterproof fabrics in a gradual game of unveiling. Sculptural objects, products that the merchants carry with them, are fossils that restore to us traces of the past. Geography has always imposed limits and opportunities on us, forced passages and borders that in a fraction of limited space, compared to the size of the planet, affect the lives of thousands of people over enormous distances.

CAMPOSTABILE started in 2012, made up of Mario Campo (Alcamo, 1987) and Lorena Stabile (Alcamo, 1989), they were established through their first exhibition in Palermo, in the A project space. In their installations, they create a personal visual dictionary by abandoning the recognition of the individual elements to leave room for the arbitrariness of the gesture, which juxtaposes and assembles the material. They often hybridize their language with technology, design and cooking. Winners of the Piazza Largo Venezuela Monument Competition in 2019, among their most recent exhibitions are: Unfurniture, Zimei Foundation, in 2020 and Liber Fare, Museum of Sign and Writing, in 2018.
