Sphere within a Sphere

In the heart of the Vatican s Cortile della Pigna, a remarkable bronze sculpture stands out - Sfera con sfera (Sphere Within a Sphere) by Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro. This captivating artwork consists of two fractured orbs that resemble intricate machine gears, poetically capturing the fragile and complex nature of modern life. The sculpture s theme of intricacy was an early fascination for Pomodoro, who began exploring this motif in the 1960s. The Sfera con sfera artwork masterfully conveys the tension between order and chaos, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate balance that underlies our world.
