• Multi-faceted work that serves as subsequent "model" of the unrealized project of the wrapping of Ponte Sant'Angelo
• The idea of wrapping the famous bridge leading up to Castel Sant'Angelo
came up on a visit to Rome in 1967
• Fascinating material effect
• Other spectacular events of the lately deceased artist were the wrapping of Pont Neuf in Paris and the Berlin Reichstag
