Literature:
Arnaldo Pomodoro (Morciano di Romagna, 23 June 1926)
One of the most famous and influential contemporary Italian sculptors. Known for his imposing geometric sculptures (such as the iconic *Sfere*), in which the smooth, polished surface ‘breaks’ to reveal a complex internal mechanism, he has also devoted much of his work to jewellery, medal-making and research into the mark.
