In 2010, the artist Raffaello Mauro Marcucci created a series of sculptures called 'Seagulls' for the Legoli Waste Disposal and Treatment Plant. The sculptures depict three seagulls in a sequence of movements representing the beginning of their flight.
In the first image, the seagulls are in their initial position, in the second image, they begin to move, while in the third image, the wings are fully open, and the flight begins.

The supporting structure of these sculptures was made using rigid drawn copper tubes, onto which the segments of the seagulls' wings and bodies were mounted.
The surface of the wings, simulating feathers, was created using copper that was baked and shaped. The baking was necessary both to give the material the required flexibility and to achieve the desired color effects.

In 2015, a new Mechanical Biological Treatment (T.M.B.) plant was inaugurated at the Legoli Waste Disposal Plant. In 2016, artists Sergio Staino and his son Michele created a colorful mural on ten panels, covering a total length of one hundred meters, decorating the external walls surrounding the T.M.B.

This work of art depicts whimsical and affectionate characters, including cicadas, lizards, snails, beetles, turtles, and other small creatures living 'at the height of daisies,' i.e., in the surrounding nature. The mural tells a kind of fable, with princesses, vain soldiers, brave knights, acrobats, and musicians, creating a colorful and lively environment.

This work is inspired by the phrase of the photographer Mario Dondero, 'living at the height of daisies,' which symbolizes the life of small beings in the surrounding nature, including the daisy flowers in the meadow that surrounds the plant. The artwork by Sergio and Michele Staino adds beauty and joy to an industrial environment, celebrating life and nature even in unconventional settings.

In 2006, Legoli also became a center for contemporary art installations, thanks to the work of artist Vittorio Messina titled 'Quattro uomini muti' (Four Silent Men). This artwork consists of four imposing silhouettes of men made from tufa bricks, with only the outlines and the wall. Each of these figures carries an iron easel-like structure on their head.

The inspiration for this artwork comes from a story by Pliny the Elder. The daughter of a potter was deeply in love with a young Athenian man who was called to arms to defend the homeland. At the moment of farewell, the young woman realized that the sun cast the shadow of her beloved on a wall. She decided to trace the outline of the shadow to preserve a memory, and from this gesture, according to legend, both painting and sculpture as art forms were born.

The artistic installation titled 'Presences,' created in 2011, consists of four sculptures made from expanded polystyrene and polyurethane foam, covered with external-resistant cement fiber. These sculptures were placed in various locations, including the Green Triangle within the Legoli waste disposal and treatment plant, the Fonte Mazzola Amphitheater, and above the roof of the Business Incubator in the 'La Fila' area.

This project aims to convey the idea that from waste management and the rebirth of materials, new life can emerge. They not only symbolize the possibility of renewal but also the ability to transform places that might otherwise be considered degraded or valueless into meaningful and evocative spaces.

The fusion of art and landscape has proven successful on multiple occasions. A notable example occurred in the summer of 2013 when two of the four sculptures called 'Presences' were transported by helicopter from the Green Triangle in Legoli to the Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico. This theater is known for being the venue where Andrea Bocelli holds an annual internationally renowned concert that attracts audiences from around the world.

In 2018, the Legoli plant hosted the start of the first edition of the Eco Run, which took its name from these very installations and became famous as 'The Night of Giants.' This event demonstrated how art and nature can converge into a unique experience.

For those interested in visiting these sculptures, it is possible to do so in the waste treatment and disposal plant area.
