Hidden in a few packs

Italian 1,000 lire banknote featuring Maria Montessori

1000 Lire.

When I was little, my mother would often leave me with my grandparents. It was my grandfather who taught me how to play cards.

He was a straightforward man, not one to give much away. But sometimes, when he saw me getting sad because I could never win, he would quietly let me win and give me 1,000 lire as a little reward. That small gesture stayed with me.

So, as a tribute to those memories, I have hidden 1,000 lire in a few random packs: a small piece of my childhood, my grandfather, and those games we shared.

I'm sure he would not like the deck, but he would be proud.

Art, community & charity

AT THE TABLE connects artists, the public and the local community through contemporary art, and shows how creativity and collaboration can make something that matters beyond the artwork itself.
