Gio Pomodoro at Polimi

So there are a bunch of sculptures by Gio Pomodoro at Polimi, we have several in my building. His work fits the sensibility of the school rather well. His pieces are structural, but not without humanizing features.



All the ones I have seen in my building have been carved stone, like this one, with some soft and natural curves, some raw edges, some hard lines.



This one is called Leda e i Dioscuri, after the Greek myth. The dark columns, I think, represent Castor and Pollux. I will take some more pictures of the rest of the Pomodoro sculptures in the building at some point, this is just the one I see the most! I may even go on a hunt to the other buildings, there are a bunch in the Gestionale building too.
