The Giardino holds Eva Aeppli’s entire astrological work. It is the only location in the world in which all her »heads« can be seen. The bronze-cast »Astrological Aspects« also clearly display the seams of the silk with which the heads were originally sewn. Eva Aeppli developed an entirely unique technique through her sewing, which produces unconventional, expressive results. Many of the »Aspects« have first names, »Igor« or »Samuela«, as if these were portraits of individual people. Yet, these are generalised aspects that contribute to the development of a personality.
