Mother Earth - Chicago, IL - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This sculpture by Italian artist Vitttore Bocchetta is made of marble and polyester. Born in 1918, Bocchetta fled Italy in 1949 due to his political opinion and lived for a short time in South America. While there, he was forced to take work in a ceramics factory, which inspired him to try sculpting. He lived in Chicago from 1958-1986 before returning to Italy.
