FOGLIE DI PIETRA - Roma, Italia - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

La composición foglie di pietra (hojas de piedra) es una escultura contemporánea inaugurada el año 2017 en el centro de Roma, entre Largo Carlo Goldoni y la via Tomacelli, ante el Palazzo Fendi, hoy sede de una firma de moda, donante de la obra, cuyo autor, el escultor contemporáneo Giuseppe Penone, intenta repasar la historia de la ciudad, desde la Roma clásica hasta la barroca, plasmando la idea en una estructura muy compleja, compuesta por dos árboles de bronce de 18 y 9 metros de altura, respectivamente, que entrelazan sus ramas, sosteniendo un bloque de mármol de 11 toneladas a una altura de 5 metros del suelo. El resultado es una escultura bastante impactante, que merece que nos detengamos unos minutos ante ella para contemplarla.
