ROCK PAINTINGS IN ETHIOPIA

 

In 1973 Salvatore Fiume travelled to the Babile Valley, also called Valley of the Lions, in Ethiopia where he carried out quite a large painting on the rough surface of a group of rocks, some 25 miles from Harar. A year later, in a retrospective at Palazzo Reale in Milan, he exhibited a partial reconstruction of the painted rocks inside the huge Sala delle Cariatidi (Hall of the Caryatids).
