Octagonal Gate is a landmark monument conceived for the Puglia region, drawing inspiration from the octagonal geometry that has become one of its most enduring symbols. Echoing the formal clarity and symbolic resonance associated with Castel del Monte, the work reinterprets the octagon as a contemporary civic presence—framing public space through light, reflection, and monumentality, while expressing identity, memory, and regional pride.
