Catania. New life for the monument to Bellini in Piazza Stesicoro.

On Wednesday 24 April at 18,00 pm the monument to Vincenzo Bellini will be returned to the city, created by the sculptor Giulio Monteverde in the second half of the 800th century, in Piazza Stesicoro, restored thanks to an intervention desired by the mayor and the municipal council.

The regeneration intervention carried out in the planning and execution phase by the technicians of the municipal public works department was aimed at rrecovery of all the constituent materials of the Catania Swan monument, damaged in several places by the wear of time and city smog.

The monument to Bellini is in white marble fifteen meters high. Seven steps rest on the base, indicating the musical notes. At the top of the staircase there is a statue of the great Catanian composer sitting on a chair. On the four sides of the column there are four statues as an allegory of his most famous works: Norma, I puritani, La sonnambula and Il pirata.

The execution of the works was entrusted to expert master restorers who used techniques to safeguard and enhance the monument in all its parts.
