The Thinker was cast in bronze in Tuscany, Italy, at the direction of artist and Chianti Sculpture Park creator Piero Giadrossi. The design was suggested by August Rodin’s “Thinker”, and was made more contemporary by clothing him in casual jeans, running shoes and a ball cap. The original Rodin is a nude.
The piece was purchased directly from the artist. It was cast in 2013. The stone tabletop and cube benches are rough cut Carrara marble from a quarry in Tuscany, selected by the artist. These sculptures are a lovely invitation for guests to sit and take in the scenery.
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to our amazing community supporters. Your generosity and dedication make all the difference, and we are truly grateful for your ongoing support.
