The Resurrection (La Resurrezione) is an 800-quintal (80-metric-ton) bronze/copper-alloy[1] sculpture by Pericle Fazzini in the Paul VI Audience Hall in Rome.[2][3] Intended to capture the anguish of 20th century mankind living under the threat of nuclear war,[1] La Resurrezione depicts Jesus rising from a nuclear crater in the Garden of Gethsemane.

The sculpture's dimensions are 66 ft × 23 ft × 10 ft (20.1 m × 7.0 m × 3.0 m).[3] The commission for the work was ordered by Count Galeassi in 1965; casting began at the Michelucci Art Foundry in Pistoia in 1972; the final sketch was produced in 1975; and the work was completed and inaugurated on 28 September 1977.

The original work was done in polystyrene and the fumes of the burning plastic gave Fazzini a blood clot during its production.[2] The statue was restored over three months in 2011.[1]

In commemoration of the 2013 Easter, the Vatican Post issued a postal stamp depicting the sculpture.[4]
