Nero3 Riverbox was created by artist Giancarlo Calicchia of Cleveland. “The soul of the earth is stone,” says Calicchia, who is also a geocacher. “My aesthetic and conceptual approach to art is based on my early childhood in the mountains of Italy. I’ve known nothing more inspiring and more graceful than the earth that we walk on. Urban art must tie into the natural environment that sustains us. I was born on a traditional Italian farm where everything we wore or consumed was grown or made on site. My passion as an artist is a continuation of this tradition …”
Calicchia works in natural materials, primarily stone. His artwork can be found in Italy, Mexico, Haiti, the U.S. and Canada.
Dublin Arts Council has a series of Riverboxes in parks throughout the area. Many are within 0.1mi of another cache and aren't published as geocaches. If you're interested, please check out the master list at www.riverboxes.org. All have GPS coordinates and clues provided, as well as educational materials to further your exploration.
