GIANNELLI. THE SKY ABOVE FLORENCE
FLORENCE.
It was 2022 when I brought Mr. Arbitrium, my over-five-meter-tall giant, to Florence. A wonderful welcome and great emotions. Three years later, the Tuscan capital will once again host not one but three of my most iconic monumental sculptures:
THE WATCHER.
Where Mr. Arbitrium once stood, leaning against the Basilica of San Lorenzo, from February 19 you will find The Watcher, a five-meter visionary giant who uses his powerful binoculars to scan the sky, the universe, and beyond.
KORF 17.
A big novelty will be the two KORF sculptures, each standing five meters tall, positioned in Piazza del Duomo, in front of Palazzo Strozzi Sacrati. I can't hide my immense excitement at the thought that my visionaries, with their arms crossed, will be just a few meters from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, gazing toward Brunelleschi's Dome!
The inauguration will take place on Wednesday, February 19, at 11:45 am at Regione Toscana, Palazzo Strozzi Sacrati, Piazza del Duomo. Presenting the event will be the President of the Region, Eugenio Giani, and Monsignor Marco Domenico Viola, whom I sincerely thank in advance.
