Intellectual."
Antonio Gramsci

LOCATION: FOREST HOUSES

The decision to do the “Gramsci Monument” at Forest Houses was taken in common by Erik Farmer, the President of the Resident Association of Forest Houses and myself. It was him who invited me to do the "Gramsci Monument" at Forest Houses together with his neighbors in the spirit of co-existence and co-operation.
