The “Grande Grappolo”

At the intersection of Via Vignolese on the “Vignolese-Tangenziale” roundabout, you won’t be able to miss the “Grande Grappolo” or “Giant Bunch of Grapes.” The sculpture is more than twelve meters (about forty feet) high and is made up of some 240 blown-glass grapes.
The work, commissioned by the Historic Brand Consortium of Lambrusco Wines, was created by the Modenese master Erio Carnevali to honor the Lambrusco grape.
Imposing in its size, the cluster of grapes is both extraordinarily beautiful and one of the largest sculptures of Murano glass in the world.
