Sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro Dies at 99

Arnaldo Pomodoro passed away yesterday evening, Sunday 22 June, in Milan on the eve of his 99th birthday, in his home. This was announced by the Foundation that bears his name, directed by Carlotta Montebello. The sculptor, known among other things for his iconic bronze spheres, was in fact born on 23 June 1926 in Montebello di Romagna. ''With the passing of Arnaldo Pomodoro, the world of art loses one of its most authoritative, lucid and visionary voices. The Maestro leaves an immense legacy,'' recalls the general director of the Foundation.
