Salvatore Mangione (Salvo)  is one of the artists who accepted the challenge proposed by the municipal administration to transform the "City living-room" into a veritable open-air art gallery that would be a meeting point at the same time.

He fully understood this challenge and made the elephant in gilded bronze: a cheerful work, perfectly integrated into the new avenue context, which quickly turned into a "living and experienced" monument.

In a very short time, in fact, the surreal presence of "L'elefantino tra le palme"(The elephant among the palm trees) by Salvo has become a regular component in the urban landscape, a point of reference for everyone: for children who can't resist to climb up and touch the trunk, but for adults too.
Now in town, to quickly get a date with someone, you just say: "See you beside the little elephant".
