Description
EN
At the corner of Trade and Tryon (at the posted coordinates) sits another favorite of the fantastic public art available in Charlotte. Officially titled "Il Grande Disco" (translates to The Big Disc), locals refer to the large, round sculpture as the Disco Wheel. Created by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro specifically for this space in 1974, Il Grande Disco is meant to represent industrial growth.
There are five more Il Grande Disco sculptures throughout the world:
- Two in Milan, Italy
- University of Chicago
- PepsiCo Headquarters in Purchase, NY
- Darmstadt, Germany
To claim credit for this cache, submit a photo of yourself with the sculpture - bad selfies are always welcome.
