Lancia di luce per Terni

The Lance of Light stands 30 meters tall with its stainless steel structure transitioning from a raw iron base to a golden-colored tip.

Constructed between 1984 and 1991, this monumental artwork required thirteen thousand hours of labor using specialized casting techniques with sand from Africa and Australia.

The sculpture reflects the industrial heritage of Terni through its materials and construction methods, connecting the city's steelwork tradition with contemporary art.

Visitors can observe the sculpture's changing appearance throughout the day as sunlight interacts with its polished surfaces and geometric patterns.

The ninety-ton structure holds the distinction of being the largest cast steel artwork in the world, featuring innovative metallurgic techniques developed in Terni.
