A Maria Eva Duarte de Perón by Ricardo Gianetti, Bronze monument in Plaza Evita, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A Maria Eva Duarte de Perón by Ricardo Gianetti is a bronze sculpture on a granite pedestal in Plaza Evita, on Avenida del Libertador between Agüero and Austria, on the grounds of the National Library. The base bears inscriptions about her social work and advocacy for vulnerable groups.

The monument was inaugurated on 3 December 1999 by President Carlos Menem, before it was finished, because he was leaving office on the 10th. A previous monument project, approved in 1952, was never completed after the Peronist government was overthrown in September 1955. In 1951 Eva Perón had imagined a monument to the Day of Loyalty, later conceived as a huge mausoleum.

The sculpture stands as a symbol of Eva Perón's lasting influence on Argentine workers and her advocacy for the poor and marginalized. Visitors can observe how this location remains a focal point for those who value her legacy of social responsibility.

The monument sits near the National Library along Avenida del Libertador and is accessible via multiple bus routes and subway lines serving the area. The pedestrian-friendly surroundings make it easy to explore on foot and connect with nearby attractions.

The 1952 project approved by Congress was never built: the 1955 coup that overthrew Perón halted it. It envisioned a 60-metre worker statue on a 77-metre pedestal, a silver sarcophagus like Napoleon's, 16 marble statues and 14 lifts, at an estimated cost of 150 million pesos.
