Giro del Sole

Giro del Sole (Trip around the Sun) by Roberto Barni, Piazzetta dell'Ortaggio, Pistoia

“Giro del Sole” (Trip around the Sun) by Roberto Barni, 1994
Piazzetta dell'Ortaggio
Pistoia, September 2022

“The smaller Piazza della Sala and even smaller adjacent Piazzetta degli Ortaggi feel like the friendly living room of Pistoia. They are ringed with bars, shops, and restaurants. Look for the beautiful stone well in the middle of Piazza della Sala. Lunch was great at the lively Taverna Gargantua', which looks into the piazzetta and onto a modern sculpture of 3 young men, all blindfolded and holding lanterns as they set out in different directions. The sculpture, called Giro del Sole (Trip around the Sun), is by local Pistoian artist Roberto Barni.” (Pistoia - a City of Culture, Two Parts Italy)
