“Incontri” (Encounters)
Monument to Paul Harris by Romano Costi, 1994
Viale Machiavelli
Florence, January 2024
“It is a complex of four statues (originally five) by the Treviso sculptor Romano Costi inaugurated in 1994 on the initiative of the Rotary Club of Florence South which at that time had its headquarters in a prestigious hotel nearby. It was a group of bronze statues that moved on their base, pushed by the wind or by human hands. The title of the work (Encounters) symbolizes the meeting between peoples and cultures of the five continents.” (Paul Harris, Osservatore Libero)
