This is Fontana dei Quattro FiumiRome, Italy

four gods from the rivers Donau, Ganges, Nile and Plate.When I saw

that the statue had movements.If I go to Rome again! I want to
visit it again!

museum.
This museum shows celebrities. I chose Einstein because he was
very intelligent and he is very important in the scientific
area.The sculptor try to make the statues very real.In Einsteins
case the wrinkles seem real.

is very good but it is unknown.The details are very beautiful.

the size of a man.In 1982 there was an International.Meeting of
artists, on open air exhibition.The youngest of the sculptors was
the Chilean Mario Irrazobl who made this work of art.Like the name

piece of advice for the tourists to be careful when swimming.The

I chose the sculpture of the Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de
Andrade. This work of art is located in Copacabana beach, in Rio de
Janeiro.The sculpture shows the poet seated on a bench, with his
legs crossed.Hes wearing glasses but unfortunately his glasses are
always stolen, Its a pity that Brazilian people behave like
that.Drummond was born in Itabira, Minas Gerais, on October 31,
1902.He had a long and productive lifeHe is considered the most
influent poet of 20th century.Most people like to sit near him to
take photos.
Cristiane GenioliMount Rushmore National Memorial
Made by Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln Borglum , this
American memorial is an impressive sculpture of an average of 20m
high and it covers an area of 5.174km . At that time, there were
many other ideas for the personalities carved on the mountain, but
the artist decided it should be more national focused, so he chose
four presidents of the country.It was carved on the granite face of
Mount Rushmore and the main idea of the memorial was to attract
tourists, and it worked ; nowadays, the visitors are nearly 3
million a year . Alessandro Mascitti Kitade
Victory of Samothrace
The winged Victory of Samothace, or in French La Victoire de
Samothrace, was made in the 2nd Century BC and sculpted in
marble.It is currently exhibited in the Louvre museum and it
represents the Greek Goddess Nike (Victory).Although it is one of
the most celebrated sculptures in the world, the author is
unknown.It is the greatest masterpiece of the Hellenistic period,
created around 200-190 BC.It is 2.44 meters high.It is believed
that NIKEs right hand used to be raised and cupped around her mouth
to deliver the shout of Victory.I chose this sculpture because I
think it is very beautiful and its history is really
interesting.

SCULPTURES
In 2011 my wife and I went to Europe.We visited some countries
starting to Portugal.We liked Lisbon very much; its an adorable
town, especially for tourists, with many ancient places and a nice
people.When we were walking around Lisbons Chiado neighborhood, we
found a sculpture of the Portuguese famous writer and poet Fernando
Pessoa (1888-1935). Apart of living some years in South Africa,
Fernando Pessoa always lived in Lisbon.Pessoa wrote: The best way
to travel is to feel everything in every possible way.This
sculpture, made in 1980 by Lagoa Henriques is very popular and is
located on the Famous Cafe A Brasileira terrace, where Fernando
Pessoa was a regular customer.The sculpture, made in bronze, shows
Fernando Pessoa, seated, as a normal person, talking and moving
hands while waiting for his coffee.Its common to see a lot of
tourists seated beside him to taking photos.
