Inside its original case.
Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, recognized internationally in the field of graphics and engraving.
Valentini's interest in the sky and cosmography is evident in the works that describe the orbits of the planets: disks arranged in sequence along graceful elliptical or circular trajectories are measurements of space, celestial cartography. The gold background of the more recent plates is an explicit reference to the sun, while the graphical symbol of the eye alludes to Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation Taurus (a red giant traditionally depicted as "the right eye of the bull").
