Lost wax bronze casting.
The snail has carried many meanings trough the history of mankind. With its spiral geometry, it symbolized energy and infinity, indicating fertility. For the Greeks and Romans it symbolized the paradoxes of life, tenacity and fragility, a tenacious behavior caused by an incredible sense of awareness.
During the Renaissance, with men at the center of universe, the Snail showed many valued features: it is small and careful, brave and slow, independent and autonomous, strong and frugal. Its wisdom seems to be: think long before starting on a direction, or making a decision. Take everything within to feel at home everywhere.
