Italy's contribution to the cultural and historical heritage of Europe and the world is immense. To capture the essence of Italy's heritage, 'Versatility of the Genius' was inspired by the 8-fold symmetry of a Renaissance cathedral design.
"It was very difficult and highly emotional for me to even reproduce the design on paper. When the stone was finished, I had so much emotional release, it was like feeling the spiritual energy of a Great Master." -Victor Tuzlukov.
