This is Fontana dei Quattro FiumiRome, Italy

It was made by Bernini in 1651.Around the obelisk, we can see four gods from the rivers Donau, Ganges, Nile and Plate.When I saw it I was captivated by the vigor and solemnity.I went there twice, day and night.At night with the soft lights on I had the feeling that the statue had movements.If I go to Rome again! I want to visit it again!

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 .

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.
