Monument to the Weaver, Marble monument in Piazza Alessandro Rossi, Schio, Italy
The Monument to the Weaver depicts a standing figure holding a shuttle and folded cloths, representing the textile industry of the region.
Sculptor Giulio Monteverde created this marble monument in 1879 at the request of industrialist Alessandro Rossi during Schio's manufacturing peak.
The monument inscription emphasizes the values of labor, family responsibility, and worker solidarity in the industrial textile community.
The monument serves as a central meeting point in Schio, situated in front of the cathedral where locals gather for social interactions.
In 2004, the entire monument underwent reconstruction after being accidentally struck by a crane during maintenance operations the previous year.
