It is with profound sadness that we announce that the master Guido Dettoni della Grazia passed away during the night.

His passing represents a great loss for all who had the privilege of knowing him, working by his side, and sharing in his creative universe. Throughout his career, Guido Dettoni della Grazia distinguished himself not only through his talent and artistic vision, but also through his extraordinary humanity, his generosity, and his remarkable ability to inspire everyone around him.

His thought, his work, and the mark he has left on so many projects and in so many people will continue to live on in the legacy he entrusts to us.

 

We wish to share this news with all the friends, followers of his work, and collaborators who over the years have been part of his professional and human journey.

 

In the coming days, we will share information about any gatherings or spaces of remembrance that may be organized to honor his memory.

 

The funeral service will take place on Sunday, March 8, at 1:00 PM at the Sant Gervasi Funeral Home in Barcelona (Spain).

On the occasion of the International Volunteers encounter held in Barcelona in 2004, the Catalan Federation for Social Volunteer Effort asked Guido Dettoni to make something to commemorate the event.   

Guido Dettoni came up with a small sculpture for the hands of the Volunteers.

The logo adopted by the International Association for Volunteer Effort IAVE is the letter V.   

   

This Guido Dettoni’s sculpture is a tactile logo, a symbol for the Volunteers from all over the world to recognize each other and to be identified in their volunteer effort.

It opens IAVE a way for the Volunteers to share through touch their choice and to strengthen the communication between all of them as well as towards everybody.   

Let’s take a look at the shape generated by the joint of two Volun-Touch:  

    

Once enlarged, it becomes an outdoor monument to be a reference and a meeting point:
