Lost wax casting is a technique with ancient roots; born in the Bronze Age, it reached its peak in the sixteenth century, as it was described by Benvenuto Cellini in the "Treatise on Sculpture". Like many other contemporary sculptors, Arnaldo Pomodoro still follows this procedure to create his works. We'll enter the Fonderia artistica De Andreis to understand what happens when bronze sculptures come to life.
