Il Giardino dei Tarocchi, Pescia Fiorentina, Tuscany, Italy
The Oracle, 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. The oracle does not exist in the traditional tarot cards, but is depicted here surrounded by snakes. 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
