Vito Maiullari was born in Turin in 1961; he currently lives and works in Altamura. His artistic language is twinned with stone, An ideal gateway for launching a synesthetic approach to the material grounded in experimental research and paired with a profound understanding of anthropology and nature. Inspired by a bucolic universe rich in memory, Maiullari views the landscape through a visionary and unconventional lens. This perspective is reflected in works featuring carved stones often paired with modern materials—a maieutic process that turns stone into a witness to history, described through the sounds and whispers of nature. Environmental traces guide the creation of installations designed to be experienced, listened to, and inhabited, sound poetry generators.”
In parallel, his work denounces the neglect of landscape heritage, with a specific focus on the Alta Murgia region. Since 1980, he has participated in multimedia events, restoration projects, and innovative educational programs, alongside creating monumental public artworks.
He currently teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts in Foggia, having previously taught at the Academies of Bari and Reggio Calabria
