When I visited San Gimignano back in 2012 there was an exhibit of Antony Gormley's sculptures in town and spilling out into the streets were many of his standing man sculptures. I had seen many photos of these sculptures in a variety of places like water and mountains but, I had never seen one in person.
When I got to the Piazza Duomo, I turned to take a photo of those famous towers and I spotted another statue atop the tallest tower.
I wanted to yell "don't jump" but, I controlled the urge.
This poor fellow is stuck right where he is standing. I wonder if he's still there.
I did enjoy seeing this collection of sculptures!

Very bold!
The one looking down from the building is quite scary and effective. Very interesting sculptures.
Now I have to google the artist to find out more about him!
The colors are quite striking and a bold contrast to the stone of San GImignano.
Very nicely erected.
My goodness. How interesting. I recently saw a permanent exhibition of his near Liverpool in northwestern England of 100+ statues on Crosby Beach.
