L.O.V.E., Contemporary monument in Piazza degli Affari, Milan, Italy
The 11-meter Carrara marble sculpture represents a hand with four severed fingers, leaving only the middle finger standing in front of Milan Stock Exchange.
The monument, installed in September 2010 by artist Maurizio Cattelan, was initially planned as a temporary exhibition but became a permanent installation in 2012.
The acronym L.O.V.E stands for Libertà, Odio, Vendetta, Eternità, reflecting a statement about financial institutions and modern society through public art.
The sculpture maintains its position in front of Palazzo Mezzanotte, where visitors can observe it without restrictions throughout the year.
Environmental activists covered the sculpture with a green glove during Milan Fashion Week 2013 to emphasize environmental concerns in the fashion industry.
