MONUMENT TO JOHN PAUL II

MONUMENTO A GIOVANNI PAOLO II
2011 Oliviero Rainaldi (1956)
5.20 m (17 feet) high, made of bronze with a silver patina of faded green. Inspired by a photo of 1993 when John Paul II wrapped a child in his cloak
It has caused quite a lot of criticism mainly for lack of resemblance with the Pope, so much that it had to be modified and completed in 2012
