The exhibition displays 34 works that represent a significant sum of the more than forty years of the Roman sculptor's prolific activity in clay; from the most recent works, such as the unpublished series Do ut des, completed this year and created during the lockdown period, to the Cubi collection (produced from 2003 to 2018) and Pneuma (from the years 2010 and 2011), passing through the works created four hands with Elisa Montessori from 2009 to 2013.

The constant dialogue between the artist's works and the collection of period stones present in the building acts as a leitmotif of the exhibition of "Molded Stone". Monachesi's sculptures are combined with cosmatesque, polychrome inlays, Corinthian capitals, objects that date back to different periods, from the Imperial Roman to the Romanesque period and the Renaissance. “This exhibition”, affirms the gallery owner Raffaella Lupi, “represents that dialogue between different eras and arts but also between different materials, which I place at the center of my research; what guides me, then, is the material on which the human being has built his story.
