Il Giardino dei Tarocchi, Pescia Fiorentina, Tuscany, Italy
La Forza, or Strength, card no. 11, 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 maiden leads a dragon by an invisible thread, the monster representing the person's inner demons which she must conquer. 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
