The mysterious and intriguing sculpture was placed on the wall of the Krakow City Hall building, from the side of ul. Poselska, as a complement to the revitalized square. The sculpture "Angel of Light", which was created in Krakow before the pandemic, was given to the inhabitants of our city by the Italian artist Enrico Muscetra with a specific message. He intended the work to be part of the centuries-old tradition of erecting symbols that bring hope and constitute a kind of "witnesses" of overcoming trials such as the pandemic.

The sculpture "Angel of Light" is almost one meter high and has wings with a span of 1.7 m. Its author is the Italian graphic artist, painter and sculptor Enrico Muscetra, associated with Krakow for almost two decades, creating his works here and collaborating with the artistic community of the city and Małopolska. .
