A photo of the "The tree of life - The roots of our future" sculpture by Andrea Roggi formed the focal point of the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro when I visited Lucca back in Summer 2019.

From the Press Release : "From 20 May to 30 September 2019 the bronze sculptures of the artist Andrea Roggi (Castiglion Fiorentino, 1962) have been exhibited among the enchanting architectural scenes of the city of Lucca in the circuit of the personal exhibition entitled "Terra Mater / Earth and Heaven". This sculpture in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is called: "The tree of life - The roots of our future"."

From Wikipedia : "Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is a public square in the northeast quadrant of walled center of Lucca, region of Tuscany, Italy. The ring of buildings surrounding the square, follows the elliptical shape of the former second century Roman amphitheater of Lucca. The square can be reached through four gateways located at the four vertices of the ellipse. A cross is carved into the central tile of the square with the arms pointing to the four gateways of the square.

The base of the former amphitheater (dating back to the 1st or 2nd century BC) is now some 3 meters below the center. At its peak about 18 rows of amphitheater seats held some 10,000 spectators.

Now an urban square (piazza), surrounded by private residences built using the remaining structures of the Amphitheatre, and occupied by several outdoor cafes, created in 1830 by the architect Lorenzo Nottolini who razed some of the buildings inside the oval. It was originally refurbished to be a marketplace."
