Simoncelli: sculpture at Coriano shoots a 58 second flame every Sunday evening

Yesterday in Coriano, the home town of the late Marco Simoncelli this sculpture created artist Arcangelo Sassolino was officially unveiled following the Misano GP.

The sculpture that resembles a motorcycle exhaust, is dubbed ‘Every Sunday’ and every Sunday at dusk, the working sculpture will shoot a 58 second long, three meter flame that will illuminate the night of small Italian town to remember the late MotoGP rider.

58 seconds to remember Simoncelli’s racing number, and the fire representes the symbol of the Italian rider’s passion for motorcycles and racing.

The idea to dedicate still another tribute came from Lino Dainese, the founder of Dainese, the internationally known protective sports gear company, who proposed the idea to Paolo and Rosella Simoncelli, and picked the young Italian artist to create the artwork.
