Three striking sculptures overlooking the sea have become a symbol of artistic expression and cultural fusion in Reggio Calabria. Created in 2007 by the renowned Roman artist Rabarama, the works—Trans-lettera, Labirintite, and Co-stell-azione—blend human forms with intricate patterns, captivating visitors with their powerful symbolism and surreal beauty. These humanoid figures, though made of bronze and marble, seem alive—each body etched with codes, symbols, and maps that hint at the inner complexity of the human spirit.

Set along the picturesque Lungomare Falcomatà, often called “the most beautiful kilometer in Italy,” the statues harmoniously integrate into the cityscape, offering both locals and tourists a unique fusion of modern art and coastal serenity. Whether you’re an art lover or a curious traveler, the Rabarama Statues invite reflection and wonder. They have also become an essential photo stop for visitors discovering the vibrant culture of Reggio Calabria.

Beyond their aesthetic allure, these sculptures represent a deeper commentary on identity, connection, and transformation—key themes in Rabarama’s work. Positioned against the backdrop of the Strait of Messina, the statues not only enrich the seafront promenade but also act as silent witnesses to the daily life unfolding around them. Their presence enhances the city’s appeal, making Reggio Calabria not just a destination of natural beauty, but also a hub of contemporary artistic resonance.
