NAPLES, FLORIDA. - One of the largest sculptures ever to come to the Naples Philharmonic is now on display.

It's called "Smoking Woman" by Colombian artist Fernando Botero. It's 2,400 pounds of bronze metal that needed a crane and a forklift to get it in place.

The sculpture was supposed to arrive earlier, but ice and snow caused for a slow ride from New York.

The massive work of art is on loan to the Philharmonic for the next year.
