Monument to Vincenzo Bellini, Memorial statue in Piazza Stesicoro, Catania, Italy.
The monument features Bellini seated on a seven-step pyramid structure, with four additional sculptures representing his famous operas surrounding the base.
Giulio Monteverde designed and sculpted this memorial, which was inaugurated on September 21, 1882 to honor the native composer Vincenzo Bellini.
The four sculptures at the base depict characters from Bellini's operas: Norma, I Puritani, La Sonnambula, and Il Pirata.
The monument stands in front of Sant'Agata alla Fornace church, positioned specifically so the composer faces the building dedicated to Catania's patron saint.
The seven-step pyramid base of the monument represents the seven musical notes, connecting architecture with musical composition.
