Abstract

The idea of permanently placing one of his works in a public space in the French capital was conceived immediately after the successful retrospective exhibition of Arnaldo Pomodoro's monumental sculptures, held in the Gardens of the Palais-Royal in Paris from April to August 2002. With the support of the Italian Ambassador, Francesco Caruso, it was decided to offer one of the sculptures to UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. On 4 July 2003 Pomodoro proposed The Arrow and the Torre a spirale (Spira! Tower, later placed in front of the Piccolo Teatro Strehler in Milan), and the former was chosen.
