About
This statue depicts a man emerging from a toilet in honor of a beloved local artist.
The city of Bologna immortalized Roberto "Freak" Antoni with a ton of Carrara marble, a hero of the absurd, to express its love for one of its own, a figure who symbolized its spirit of rebellion and irony. A rocket-powered jetpack strapped to Freak's back helps him emerge from a toilet, dressed in a rumpled tuxedo. The statue exudes humor and gravitas. Appropriate for a nation devoted to its culture.
