Colossus of the Apennines by Giambologna
The Apennine Colossus (Italian: Colosso dell'Appennino) is a stone statue about 11 metres high on the estate of Villa Demidoff in Vaglia, Tuscany, Italy. Giambologna (Flemish sculptor Jean de Boulogne) created the colossal figure, a personification of the Apennines, in the late 1580s. It was built on the site of the Villa di Pratolino, a Renaissance villa that fell into disrepair and was abandoned. It was replaced by the Villa Demidoff in the 1800s.
