L'occhio di Polifemo is a sculpture by Portuguese landscape architect João Ferreira Nunes at the entrance to Pineta park in Jesolo. The sculpture combines corten steel and glass.

Its rust-like steel surface and reflective glass connect the artwork with trees, wood, metal, and other natural elements around the park. Those materials change over time and catch the light.

The title refers to Polyphemus, the one-eyed Cyclops from Homer’s Odyssey, while the form suggests an eye watching the park entrance. That idea gives the gateway a mythological focus.

Pineta, known as Jesolo’s green lung, places contemporary art among wooded areas, walking paths, and everyday public space. Jesolo extends this setting beyond the park.

Nearby works include sculptures along Viale Oriente, Venice-themed pieces in Piazza Rivoalto, religious wooden panels, and murals about traditional life and work. L'occhio di Polifemo marks the meeting of landscape design, contemporary art, and Jesolo’s public spaces.

Glass, steel, trees, and myth shape this entrance.
