Grande Disco

Grande Disco is one of the most significant works of Arnaldo Pomodoro. It was initially exhibited in the Piazza Ducale of Vigevano, then it was first moved in front of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan and, finally, placed in the current location as proposed by the artist. The sculpture consists of a double circle of gilded bronze, placed on a revolving structure inside a flowerbed, the contrast between the metal structure and the grassy mantle is characteristic of the piece. The sculpture refers, in an abstract form, to the proportions of Leonardo da Vinci‘s Vitruvian Man. Pomodoro builds a strongly dynamic sculpture, the center ideally represents the head of on imaginary anthropomorphic figure. Inserted in the vital context of the city, Grande Disco represents its dynamism and strength.
