Statua di Snoopy

The Statua di Snoopy is a bronze sculpture in Villa Fabbricotti Park depicting a border collie holding a red blanket in its mouth. The monument stands approximately 1.80 meters tall and sits within a public park in central Livorno.

The monument was unveiled on February 6, 2018, as a memorial following the tragic shooting of a dog named Snoopy on August 4, 2015. Its creation marked a response from the community to this devastating event.

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 park provides an open space where visitors can approach the sculpture and understand its significance. The grounds are easy to walk through and host various activities throughout the year related to animal welfare.

The sculpture was funded through a crowdfunding campaign, showing how the local community came together to create this memorial. Roman artist Alessandro Di Cola crafted the work as a symbol for all animals affected by violence and harm.
