Pinuccio Sciola studied first at the Artistic Lyceum in Cagliari and later at the Art Teachers’ Training College in Florence and, from 1965, at the International Academy in Salzburg, where he attended lessons by Kokoscha, Kirchner, Vedova and Marcuse. On the same years he travelled through Europe visiting its main cities and museums and he met Manzù, Sassu, Moore, Wortuba. In 1967 he spent a year in Spain studying at the Moncloa University in Madrid. The following year he was in Paris.
Back in Sardinia, he turned his native village San Sperate into a “village-museum” thanks to the arti-stic and social experience of Murales (mural paintings); in 1973 he worked with the absolute master of mural art David Alfaro Siqueiros, in Mexico City.
Sciola exhibits his works of art since 1960: in 1976 at the Venetian Biennale, in 1984 at Rotonda della Besana and Piazza degli Affari in Milan; in 1985 his sculptures are exposed at Rome Quadrennial and between 1986 and 1987 he starts a touring exhibit through the most important cities in Germany.
In the 90’s Sciola’s sculptures are exposed in the park of Ooidonk Castle in Belgium, at Palace Trianon in Versailles and in the Park of Kunst Project Centre in Barndorf Bei Baden, near Wien. In 1996 Sciola creates the sound stones which are exhibited for the first time in Berchidda (Sardinia) in 1997. In 2000, his works of art are at the International Expò in Hanover and in La Havana. In 2002 the Müvészet-Malom Szentendre in Budapest dedicates a wide anthological exhibit to the artist and at the beginning of 2003, Sciola starts a cooperation with the Architect Renzo Piano, who chooses an imposing Pietra Sonora for the Città della Musica in Rome. In the same year Sciola exposes a new series of monumental sonorous sculptures on the square of the Basilica Inferiore in Assisi.
Sciola’s sculptures are exhibited in several public and private collections all around Europe.
