It’s the renaissance of the Italian Stallion. The iconic statue of fictional prizefighter Rocky Balboa which has long stood outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art is moving up in weight class from public work to fine art. After decades of tension between the museum and the worldwide tourist destination mirrored from the beloved classic 1979 film, curators have finally bent the knee to the bronze Balboa and allowed the 2-ton sculpture inside its doors to fill gaps in their summer programs, NBC News reported.
