Not sure if this has been done before, so I thought I would share ... the 48-ball sphere is not as common as the C60 sphere and the extended version provides a larger subunit to work with.
(@048) - 48-ball sphere = (2 x (4 x 6-ball))
(@432) - 48-ball square = (3 x (3 x 48-ball sphere))
(@864) - 48-ball sphere staircase = ((3 x 48-ball sphere) + (2 x (3 x 48-ball sphere)) + (3 x (3 x 48-ball sphere)))
(@384) - 48-ball sphere square frame = (8 x 48-ball sphere))
(@960) - 48-ball sphere cube frame = ((2 x (8 x 48-ball sphere)) + (4 x 48-ball sphere))
(@1296) - 48-ball sphere cube = (3 x (9 x 48-ball sphere))
(@192) - Extended bridged 48-ball sphere = ((48-ball sphere core) + (6 x ( 2 x 4-ball) extenders)) + (12 x 8-ball bridges))

Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern and Western Europe. It consists of a peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean Sea, with the Alps on its northern land border, as well as nearly 800 islands, notably Sicily and Sardinia. Italy shares land borders with France to the west; Switzerland and Austria to the north; Slovenia to the east; and the two enclaves of Vatican City and San Marino. It is the tenth-largest country in Europe by area, covering 301,340 km2 (116,350 sq mi), and the third-most populous member state of the European Union, with nearly 59 million inhabitants. Italy's capital and largest city is Rome; other major cities include Milan, Naples, Turin, Palermo, Bologna, Florence, Genoa, and Venice.
The history of Italy goes back to numerous Italic peoples—notably including the ancient Romans, who conquered the Mediterranean world during the Roman Republic and ruled it for centuries during the Roman Empire. With the spread of Christianity, Rome became the seat of the Catholic Church and the Papacy. Barbarian invasions and other factors led to the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire between late antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. By the 11th century, Italian city-states and maritime republics expanded, bringing renewed prosperity through commerce and laying the groundwork for modern capitalism. The Italian Renaissance flourished during the 15th and 16th centuries and spread to the rest of Europe. Italian explorers discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, contributing significantly to the Age of Discovery.
After centuries of political and territorial divisions, Italy was almost entirely unified in 1861, following wars of independence and the Expedition of the Thousand, establishing the Kingdom of Italy. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, Italy industrialised—mainly in the north—and acquired a colonial empire, while the south remained largely impoverished, fueling a large immigrant diaspora to the Americas. From 1915 to 1918, Italy took part in World War I with the Entente against the Central Powers. In 1922, the Italian fascist dictatorship was established. During World War II, Italy was first part of the Axis until an armistice with the Allied powers (1940–1943), then a co-belligerent of the Allies during the Italian resistance and the liberation of Italy (1943–1945). Following the war, the monarchy was replaced by a republic and the country enjoyed a strong recovery.
A developed country with an advanced economy, Italy has the eighth-largest nominal GDP in the world, the second-largest manufacturing sector in Europe, and plays a significant role in regional and—to a lesser extent—global economic, military, cultural, and political affairs. Italy is a founding and leading member of the European Union and the Council of Europe, and is part of numerous other international organizations and forums. As a cultural superpower, Italy has long been a renowned global centre of art, music, literature, cuisine, fashion, science and technology, and the source of multiple inventions and discoveries. It has the highest number of World Heritage Sites (60) and is the fourth-most visited country in the world.

Boy did I learn to mess with my camera today. Extended shots, overcast day, with no shade. Yet I managed to catch some BEAUTIFUL shots!
The following comment is strong in nature. Reader discretion is adviced.
These guys were kind enough to stand still while I took the 3 consecutive pictures to assemble the panorama. However, I chopped the head off the leftmost cow. Maybe a preview of things to come for him/her?
