Spilamberto is a town of some twelve thousand people. On 14 February 2008 one of its citizens, the young property entrepreneur Carlo Accorsi, gave it segments from a set of ten he had bought at an auction in Berlin. The accounts differ on how many came and how many are shown: one has all ten delivered and three standing in the garden of the Rocca Rangoni, while the Federal Foundation records four, given and now standing in the park of the Rocca. The town frames the display as an assertion of its self-declared identity as a town of diversity. Each segment is recorded at 3.6 m high, 1.2 m wide and about 3 tonnes — the standard Grenzmauer 75 dimensions, and a useful check against the nearly 2 m width published for the Canberra section.
Il Resto del Carlino, reporting the purchase a few days before the delivery, gave a third count: seven segments, four of them for the town and three kept by Accorsi, bought at Deutsche Grundstücksauktionen in Berlin with certificates, and at that stage intended for a park in the Pesa Vecchia quarter rather than the Rocca.
Wie kam es hierher?
Given to the town by one of its own citizens, Carlo Accorsi, from ten segments he bought at an auction in Berlin, rather than through a state or institutional donation — an unusual route in this catalogue.
