Photographed while at a red light on Valentine’s Day 2015.
On the steps of the City County Building.
This is a bronze sculpture of former mayor (served 1977-1988), Richard S. Caliguiri.
Here’s an article he wrote about facing his diagnosis of the fatal disease amyloidosis.
“On October 19, 1990 a statue of Richard S. Caliguiri was dedicated on the steps in front of Pittsburgh’s City-County Building. The sculpture was made by well-known sculptor Robert Berks. It stands 9 feet tall and is 3 feet wide.”
fabulous foto!
A wonderful picture of a wonderful statue, dedicated to a wonderful mayor. I love how the snowflakes seem to be suspended in mid air. I guess they are.
Love that sculpture. Great shot.
Special!
For a moment I thought the statue was an actual person 🙂
Beautiful! Beautiful! I think members of Mayor Caliguiri’s family would love to have a copy of this.
The snow on the ground and the plaque [rock] keeps turning into sunlight, and then back into snow! What a photo!!!!!!!
Looks like he has plenty to think about! What a great statue 🙂
He looks very pensive in that light snowfall; a terrific setting for him!
