has gloss | eng: The Globe of Peace (Mappamondo della Pace in Italian) is a very large globe located in Apecchio, Pesaro, Italy. It was the Guinness Book of World Records record holder for the world's largest rotating globe until 1999, when it was succeeded by Eartha. It was built over a period of six years by Orfeo Bartolucci with the stated goal of diffusing a message of peace and liberty to all people. It measures 10 meters in diameter and is reported to weigh 170 quintals, which probably translates to 17,000 kilograms. Reportedly 250 quintals of putty, 30 cubic meters of wood, and a ton (unclear whether English or Metric) of nails were used in its construction. The globe is located outdoors and has a fiberglass skin. It can hold approximately 600 people and internally contains descriptive tables listing every country of the world and their flag. |
