About The Artwork
It is a lion / child that embodies the symbol of the power of the Republic of Florence-15th Century-, and it also interprets the historical figure of Leone X (the 10th) from his biography: a young Giovanni di Lorenzo De' Medici became cardinal at fourteen years old, and Pope at thirtyseven (1513) It is a pleasure-seeker lion and not an aggressive one, who is striving for the future held in his suitcase-a chest full of gifts from his last travel to Versilia, eventually linking its fate to the Republic of Florence thanks to Leone X. He has the balls from the official badge of the Medici family on his lap, sign of a temporal power which will be renewed under his papacy, and will enrich the papal court with the Renaissance culture.

SCULPTURE TELLS RIVETING STORIES. Artworks tell stories with a physical presence, one linked to Space&Time, one hinted at by the patron, one in the artist’s interpretation--and the materials have their saying too. II The path we choose is to keep track of significant meaning over time, sharing values through a creative narrative. How we do it? Solid planning, in-depth materials research, lateral thinking, and rivets will nail inspiration to its core.
