Omaha, Nebraska, United States--Officially named "Stile di Famiglia" (Family Style), a big metal fork pinning a wad of metal spaghetti against the ground was commissioned by The Homeowners Association of the Towns of Little Italy and created by Jake Balcom; at 13 feet tall, the giant fork with pasta strands winding around the tines sets the world record for being the World's Largest Fork with Pasta Sculpture, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
"This stainless steel sculpture was commissioned by The Homeowners Association of the Towns of Little Italy in Ohama. After a design competition was held to find the perfect piece to represent one of the oldest communities in the city, artist Jake Balcom was selected with the task. When creating the sculpture, Balcom was inspired by the tight-knit community of the area…and by a meal at a local Italian restaurant," the Silly America says..
"The piece’s name, “Stile di Famiglia” or “Family Style,” was selected to reference a type of restaurant service where instead of plated meals, all the food comes out on big platters or bowls, meant to be shared much like a family dinner at home. In both name and form, this Omaha roadside attraction respects the city’s Italian heritage, local restaurants (it’s just down the block from Orsi’s Italian Bakery & Pizzeria), and community.
"At 13 feet tall, the giant fork with pasta strands winding around the tines might not be the world’s largest fork, but it’s probably the world’s largest fork twirling spaghetti! So next time you find yourself in Omaha be ready to stick a fork in it and visit Stile di Famiglia."
"Officially named "Stile di Famiglia" (Family Style), it's a big metal fork pinning a wad of metal spaghetti against the ground,"the Roadside America says.
"In a residential neighborhood known as Little Italy, this larger-than-life fork towers over kids who travel with their own cutlery!
"The Homeowners Association of the Towns of Little Italy commissioned the sculpture "Stile di Famiglia" (Family Style), which is a restaurant term for serving food the way it would be at a big family dinner. It represents the feel for The Towns' neighborhood, which seems very fun, friendly, and close to each other, much like a family. I feel it represents the vibe of both the neighborhood and sculpture wonderfully and gives a nice nod to the Italian heritage in both the language and meaning."
"The stainless steel Fork with Pasta in Omaha is 13 feet tall. It is officially titled "Stile di Famiglia" (Family Style)," the Roadside Architecture says.
"The last one on the list but definitely not the least! The Stile Di Famiglia (meaning Family Style) is a giant 13 feet tall fork with spaghetti located in Omaha, Nebraska. This fork represented the rich local Italian culture, where foods in restaurants are served on a big platter for the family to eat together, rather than separate plated meals," the Norfolk Auto Center says.
"Made of stainless steel, this figure was designed by artist Jake Balcom. The Homeowners Association of Town of Little Italy in Omaha wanted to build something that would strongly represent their community when Jake came up with this design.
"O, the next time you are around this small town, make sure to stop by and visit this strange and rather exciting sculpture."
"Only in Omaha can you find a 13-foot tall fork with spaghetti (located near 7th and Pierce Sts.) or the world’s largest giant ball of stamps in Boystown. Definitely Instagrammable!", says the Omaha Mom.
