The sculpture "Grande Figura Accoccolata" ("Great Crouching Figure") from 1973 shows a naked woman crouching on a ball. It stands on its concrete pedestal in Via VIII Febbraio, a pedestrian zone in Padua. The approximately life-size bronze figure was the first in a series of similar nudes that can be seen in various museums today.
