Statua di Snoopy

Statua di Snoopy, Bronze statue in Villa Fabbricotti Park, Livorno, Italy

The Statua di Snoopy is a life-size bronze of a border collie mix sitting with a red blanket in its mouth, made by Alessandro Di Cola using lost-wax casting. It stands 1.80 metres tall on a pedestal in Villa Fabbricotti park, with a plaque on the front bearing a maxim by Ovid.

The bronze statue was unveiled on February 4, 2018, in Villa Fabbricotti park, commemorating Snoopy, a seven-year-old border collie mix shot on a balcony on August 4, 2015. In autumn 2017 the shooter was sentenced to eight months of community service and ordered to compensate the owners. On November 4, 2017, animal protection associations held a national demonstration in Livorno seeking a harsher penalty.

The inscription on the base draws from Ovid's writings to explore how people and animals relate to each other through classical thought. This choice connects visitors to a broader conversation about respect for all living beings.

The statue stands in Villa Fabbricotti park, in central Livorno. In summer 2022 the area around it was planted as the "Giardino di Snoopy", with a flower bed and a sign beside the bronze. The inauguration ribbon was cut by children present in the park.

The bronze was cast by Alessandro Di Cola using the lost-wax technique, and the dog holds a red blanket in its mouth to express the grief of animals harmed by human violence. The pedestal carries a maxim of the Roman poet Ovid. On 24 February 2022 the actor Giorgio Panariello visited the statue while in Livorno for a show.
