'L 'Ambiente' means a place for people'. It consists of Portuguese granite and is made up of six blocks, reaching a height of 45 ft. Granite was chosen as a symbol of permanence, strength and quality. It features prominently at the main entrance to Kings Hill on the A228 roundabout. On 20th May 1993 L'Ambiente was dedicated by the Honourable Lord Palumbo, Chairman of the Arts Council, joined by L'Ambiente's sculptor, Enzo Torcoletti, amid a flurry of blue balloons.
