I think that in this case, the sculptor had to be set aside out their creative ambitions and focus on the personality of Pope , for his people and people to him .

Two years ago, was vacationing in Croatia , visited Rijeka and, in particular , bothered to climb the hill ( can not remember the name ) , which preserved 15 th century Franciscan monastery . There, on the territory of the monastery is a modest statue of the Pope . Calm facial features , eyes half-closed , an outstretched hand , polished by tourists and pilgrims . Dad there as live, humanized sculptor . In 2003, the pope held a mass at the Cathedral on the monastery , when visiting Croatia . After this, there have decided to commemorate this event . Unfortunately , no pictures .
