The record
Ten segments delivered to a small town near Modena on Valentine's Day 2008, sent home by one of its own citizens working abroad.
Ten segments were delivered to Spilamberto, a town of some twelve thousand people near Modena, on Valentine's Day 2008. Three of them stand in the garden of the Rocca Rangoni; the town frames the display as an assertion of its self-declared identity as a town of diversity. Each segment is recorded at 3.6 m high, 1.2 m wide and about 3 tonnes — the standard Grenzmauer 75 dimensions, and a useful check against the nearly 2 m width published for the Canberra section.
How did it get here?
Sent to the town by one of its own citizens working abroad, rather than through a state or institutional donation — an unusual route in this catalogue.
