The monument, known as the Anelito Fuggente (Fleeing Soul), was created by Ruperto Banterle for the death of the poet’s mother and friend Lionello Fiumi, portrayed in a bronze bust. The sculptor conceives a subject of great sensuality inspired by the Michelangelo iconography of the Dying slave who, symbolically, can also be read as the interplay between life and death.
