"Corpo d’aria," 1959-60. Wood box, rubber balloon, mouthpiece and base.
Source is The Brooklyn Rail.
45 copies were made and sold at 30,000 lire each. Originally, any buyer could ask Manzoni to inflate the balloon himself, but would be charged an extra Deutschmark for every litre of air expanded. When fully expanded, the balloons measured 80 cm in diameter.
