Il Giardino dei Tarocchi, Pescia Fiorentina, Tuscany, Italy

Le Monde, or the World, card no. 21, sculpture in Il Giardino dei Tarocchi, a sculpture garden by Niki de Saint Phalle, 1930-2002, based on the esoteric tarot, at Pescia Fiorentina, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy. A blue woman dances on an egg surrounded by a snake that recalls the uroborus, symbol of infinity, the snake biting its tail. The world is the splendour of interior life. Niki de Saint Phalle begun the project in 1979 and it opened in 1998, holding 22 monumental sculptures of the Greater Mysteries of the tarot. The sculptures are made from concrete and covered in ceramic and mirrored mosaic pieces. Picture by Manuel Cohen
