鈥淎thleta,鈥�, a tribute to the ideal of 鈥渕an and his search for excellence,鈥� and part of Giancarlo Calicchia鈥檚 series 鈥淭he Witnesses鈥�, is a carved granite boulder surrounded by other granite pieces that are located along the Lefton Esplanade between Terrace Drive and Kent Hall. 鈥溾€橝thleta鈥� and its surrounding figures are involved in an emerging narrative which reveals their legacy as the preeminent witnesses of life鈥檚 evolution,鈥� Calicchia proposed. Stones used in this piece were all created from boulders left behind after the glaciers retreated. Calicchia excavated the granite monoliths, some as deep as 12 feet, from his vineyard and surrounding farm in Lake County鈥檚 Madison Township area.
