Massive 16th Century Sculpture of a Guardian Colossus

Shrouded within the park of Villa Demidoff (just north of Florence, Italy), there sits a gigantic 16th century sculpture known as Colosso dell'Appennino, or the Appennine Colossus. The brooding structure was first erected in 1580 by Italian sculptor Giambologna. Like a guardian of the pond in front of him, the giant is in an endless watchful pose, perched atop his earthy seat.

就在義大利北部的佛羅倫斯，Villa Demidoff公園裡藏著一座巨大的石雕。這尊石像完成於十六世紀，名為Colosso dell'Appennino. 這座沉思的雕像於1580年完成，由雕塑家Giambologna豎立。一如眼前池子的守護者，這座石像棲居於佈滿青苔的泥土上，凝視著一切。
