The Tutelary Virtue of the People, a photo from La Habana, West

Photographer's Note

The Tutelary Virtue of the People is one of the two enormous statues made of bronze (the other is: The Work) that are found at the sides of the access stairs of the Havana Capitol, works of the Italian sculptor Angelo Sanelis. A harmonious building that perfectly combines the classical on the outside and the eclectic on the inside and has a dome that reaches 90 mts. high that shelters underneath a bronze statue representing the Republic, totally laminated in gold, located in the so-called Hall of the Lost Steps, 14 mts. high and considered the third highest in the world. I will share it soon!!!

The dreams of the holders of power. Hopefully it is the dreams of the people too. Well taken here of the statue and columns. You have shown us many different views of the life in Cuba. Well done. Keep them coming. The only way we can understand each other is to share ones dreams and aspirations. have a nice day.
