Description from the seller
Sphere made of natural quartz-feldspar breccia, a composite rock with a clastic structure formed by angular fragments of quartz and feldspars cemented together by a darker, natural-origin matrix. The surface shows an irregular mosaic texture, with light gray, beige and milky-toned clasts, alternating with dark fragments and veins that create a strong, dynamic contrast. Local ochre and orange hues are present, due to natural oxidations, further enriching the overall design. The arrangement of the fragments is chaotic yet coherent, with clearly visible fracture lines running through the entire volume of the sphere, emphasizing its three-dimensionality.

A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
