A word about the artist
Born in Turin in 1928, Léonardo Delfino moved to Paris in 1953, to the great benefit of the city and its surrounding region, which would play host to many of his sculptures. His way of working consists in recovering steel from industrial waste, welding it and then casting it in synthetic materials.
