Obelisco Lancia di Luce

The Lancia di Luce Obelisk, built by Arnaldo Pomodoro, is located at the end of Corso del Popolo, and given its height dominates the roundabout. It is a great technical work, as well as sculptural, an exaltation of foundry and assembly techniques but, also, of the ingenuity of man.

Corso del Popolo - Terni

 

Obelisco Lancia di Luce

The Spear of Light

The impressive monument stands between Guglielmi avenue and Corso del Popolo. The obelisk, composed entirely of cast steel, reaches a height of thirty meters and was built to mark the centenary of the founding of the Steel City. The final implementation dates back to 1995.

Symbol of Terni’s industry, its positive aspects but also negative ones are clearly identifiable through the myriad of fractures, light and shade geometric shapes that characterize it. It was designed and created by sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro and logically connected with the Umbrian city that host other works of the same artist (Dublin, Copenhagen, Los Angeles, Moscow ...).


Observe it from different angles and with different light conditions: each time it will be different and fascinating
