Statua del Gigante, Monumental statue in Monterosso al Mare, Italy.
The Statua del Gigante creates a striking figure against the Mediterranean Sea, constructed from iron and cement materials rising from the coastal landscape.
Italian sculptor Arrigo Minerbi completed this monumental Neptune statue in 1910, during a period of artistic development in the Liguria region.
The statue represents Neptune, demonstrating the connection between Italian coastal communities and classical mythology through public art installations.
Visitors can observe the statue while walking along the coastal path between Monterosso's old town and new section, particularly during morning hours.
The structure incorporates industrial materials of iron and cement, marking an experimental approach to outdoor sculpture at the start of the 20th century.
