This bronze sculpture is called Sphere Within Sphere (Sfera Con Sfera) and it measures four meters in diameter. It was created by artist Arnaldo Pomodoro in 1990 for the Vatican Museums. Pomodoro's specialty is the casting of gigantic columns and/or globes. In this magnificent sculpture, the fractured surface of the outer sphere reveals a very complex inner sphere that represents the harsh difficulties that the modern world finds itself in at the end of the second millennium. One needs to view this masterpiece from every angle. Many people want to have their picture taken beside it, so be prepared to stand for a while before getting a picture of it in the way you wish to.
He also has a similar sphere on the U.N. grounds.
