I am not sure when the “Cassa di Risparmi” gym in “Via Bosi” was built, but it was probably when tug of war was still an Olympic sport (1900-1920).
The facility, almost adjacent to the church of “San Benedetto”, was mainly used by local schools without a gym, but surely not for Greco-Roman wrestling...
...or archery.

These are really nice VP.
These are great. I like the archery one.
Wonderful artistic figures.
The first two scenes make sense, but would archers really shoot their arrows from such a position? Anything for art . . .
Well captured VP and perfect sculptures for a gym building! They were too muscly back then!!
Quite the muscles!
No kidding, tug of war was in the Olympics?!
Nice basssorilievos.

isn't it amazing how much energy an artist can convey with a chisel?

Oh those muscles excite me! I love watching the Olympics...but had no idea the tug-a-war was an Olympic sport! Fun trivia :D
Beautiful carvings. Exquisite workmanship.
Interesting details here. Your city has so much history.
Nice work(out) !!
Looks a bit like the style you will find in Oslo at "Vigelandsparken".
