Arte - Pietrasanta


Fernando Botero, one of the world's most commercially successful artists, celebrates his 80th birthday in Pietrasanta with a new exhibition of statues, including huge cat - El Gato. We've already seen his paintings in Vienna and therefore willingly go there after a long day on the sunny beach.

Do you already know why we particularly interested in El Gato?
Striking resemblance, isn't it?


P.S. Botero spends the summer months in Pietrasanta with his family and is considered one of its most famous residents. He gave the town two large frescoes entitled The door of Heaven and The door of Hell and a sculpture The Roman Warrior which stands in a central square and welcomes all visitors.
