Work by Gianni Calcagnini entitled "Thought is faster than Action", a permanent installation located inside the Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo. The large iron sculpture, over 6 meters high and 10 meters long, was born as a hymn to freedom, to the desire to know and to the power of positive thinking that guides action; a drive to always move forward; a sign of power and strength that man must never lose or rather must always be able to find even in difficult moments like today, for a better future. An Arabian horse, which legend has it was born from the wind for its speed and resistance, jumps the globe (a sphere 3 meters in diameter), symbol of our planet, and takes with it in flight an Amazon clinging to the mane with only her hands. Fantastic tale or dream, this poetic sculpture stands out over the magnificent landscape of Montefeltro designed by man's crops. Calcagnini always emphasizes the bond with the earth and for this reason the horse is still invisibly anchored to the globe and acts as a conduit towards the infinite and the unknown, concentrating its gesture in the moment of the leap full of energy and pointing towards the North so as never to have the sun in its eyes.
