Description
When Sir Frederick Gibberd claimed that it was his trips to Florence that inspired the decision to have sculptures on public display in Harlow, I imagine it came across somewhat unrealistic, patronising even. How can you compare a town in Essex with the greatest classical city in the world for sculpture? The Florence of Essex is a film and archival display that encapsulates the special relationship between the people of Harlow and the sculptures in the town.
