Ragno Atena
Ragno Atena stands in Jesolo as a monumental contemporary sculpture by Carlo Pecorelli. Its spider form rises about four metres and spans six metres across.
Corten steel gives the sculpture a weathered, rust-like surface while protecting the metal beneath. The work emerged from the Atena exhibition, created with the city of Venice for the programme Le città in festa. Its setting is a historic greenhouse where glass, warmth and light support plant life. Liberty architecture echoes leaves and animals, linking the spider’s form with the building around it. Together, these elements explore the relationship between people and nature, with shelter and care at the centre.
The four-metre height makes the steel spider an unmistakable presence beside the greenhouse’s glass. Its enduring surface connects contemporary art with a restored space shaped by natural forms.
