Yet another artistic consecration for the sculptor Domenico Sepe who saw his work dedicated to the prestigious institution exhibited in Piazza del Plebiscito, on the occasion of the swearing-in of the students of the 237th Course “Gold Medal for Military Valor Lieutenant Colonel Enrico Giammarco”, of the “Nunziatella” Military School.
And so, for the oath of allegiance to the Italian Republic of the students of the glorious Academy, Sepe's sculpture was placed near the famous square, receiving the admiration of those present at the ceremony, including the Undersecretary of State for Defense, Senator Isabella Rauti, the Chief of the Defense Staff, General Luciano Portolano, the Chief of the Army General Staff, Lieutenant General Carmine Masiello, the Commander for Training, Specialization and Doctrine of the Army, Lieutenant General Carlo Lamanna, and the Commander of the "Nunziatella" Military School, Colonel Alberto Valent.
Created by Domenico Sepe based on an idea by former Nunziatella student and art curator Francesco Pascotto, the life-size bronze statue of a student from the School (the first in the history of what, founded as the Royal Military Academy, remains one of the oldest military training institutes in Italy and the world) has aroused interest and emotion.

In the presence, among others, of the Gold Medal for Military Valor, Sergeant Major Andrea Adorno, of the President of the Regional Council of the Campania Region, Dr. Gennaro Oliviero, of the Mayor of Naples, Prof. Gaetano Manfredi, of the Prefect of Naples, Dr. Michele Di Bari, of the President of the National Association of Nunziatella Alumni, Eng. Fulvio Campagnuolo, of the General Commander of the Carabinieri, Carabinieri, General of the Army Corps Salvatore Luongo, of the Combatant and Armed Forces Associations and of other military and civil authorities, the moment has transformed into a new reason for satisfaction for an artist increasingly present in the social fabric of the city.
Thus, before so many illustrious attendees, Maestro Sepe, also the creator of the special edition 2025 calendar celebrating the Nunziatella's tradition and educational excellence, also had the opportunity to discuss his artistic creation. "Bronze sculptures," Sepe said, "have two fundamental elements: the material, bronze itself, which the Greeks defined as eternal, and the empty space in which the artist expresses the spiritual. My sculpture aims to underscore the connection between a historical image and the contemporaneity of our city."
