To build Sweet Home, a shipyard is indispensable. Sweet Home is indeed a sculpture, but it is a particular sculpture that must have within it a series of attributes that are indispensable and unavoidable for the author and all those who will use it.

The world of shipbuilding is a stranger, so the search on the net begins.

Pages of sites of shipyards scroll by: from those that have made the history of navigation, to those famous for pleasure boats, shipyards for the construction of fast patrol boats, patrol boats, ferry boats, passenger ships, tugs... a universe that is also geographically very distant. This in itself is not an insuperable problem: a period of travel to follow the construction of the sculpture can be taken into account.

The pages follow one another. A construction site near Cremona: a place on the banks of the Po that from the immense area it occupies suggests a history of success and great activity. The inspection, however, proves not to be what is needed. The search continues until a shipyard appears in Codogno: in the middle of the Po Valley stands a shipyard.
The brief lines of the site intrigue, it is a shipyard for the construction of special boats, an excellence of its kind. This could be the right meeting and Codogno is just a few kilometres away.

This is where the approach, collaboration and friendship with Giorgio Spagna of Nettuno Motobarche began.
