The Mont’e Prama Foundation and the Nivola Foundation are pleased to present the first exhibition dedicated to the relationship between the art of Costantino Nivola and the Prehistory of Sardinia. Through a fascinating journey that compares masterpieces of Eneolithic and Nuragic sculpture and architecture with fundamental works by Nivola, the exhibition reconstructs for the first time the relationship between Nivola and Prehistory, presenting the artist's sculptures alongside the sources that inspired him, thanks to a series of important loans from Italian and international public and private collections. 
The exhibition, set up simultaneously in two locations, the Nivola Museum (Orani) and the G. Marongiu Civic Museum (Cabras), compares Nivola's works with the evidence of Sardinian Prehistory that influenced him, presented through original artifacts, photographs, and multimedia installations curated by the Visual Computing Group of CRS4.Born from the scientific collaboration between Giuliana Altea and Antonella Camarda, art historians, Luca Cheri and Anna Depalmas, prehistoric archaeologists, and Carl Stein, architect and former collaborator of Nivola, the exhibition presents a unique opportunity to explore the bond between Nivola and Sardinia, also thanks to a group of key works by the artist from American and Italian private collections.
