On view in this room is Continuo infinito presente, 1985 (2007, a work composed of 16 rings, made of interwoven steel cables, here presented in a concentric configuration.

Continuo infinito presente has been shown both in the exhibition spaces of museums, galleries or privately owned buildings and outdoors, for instance encircling a tree (Fattoria Montellori, Fucecchio, 2006; Shoreham Park, Melbourne, 2010), a monument (Colonna di San Zanobi, Florence, 2010) or a fountain (Fontana del Gigante, Carrara, 2016).

The circle has had many meanings in the history of symbols, ranging from primordial energy to the divine, from the cyclic succession of natural phenomena to the periodicity of time and the motion of the heavenly bodies. For Salvadori the circle “consists in a permanent interrogation and is of a higher author.” A figure that the artist has found in one of Omar Khayyam’s poems: “This coming and going, a cycle all share, / where it begins, where it ends, no one’s aware.”
