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 .

The New York Times compares the opening of the monument with vernissage by Damien Hirst .
Already mayoral commission established, the subject of the proceedings and decisions of the fate of the statue .
Although , despite the fact that the commission only just at the stage of creation , the fate of the monument, which the Deputy Minister of Culture of Italy Maria Giro called "a manifesto of ugliness , appears doomed.

Probably, it is assumed that people would go back to him - under the shadow of his cloak.

Assumed.
And this is what scared the people of Rome, who suggested that such a wide-open welcoming cloak become a haven for the homeless.

Members, well, so it's intended use - it would be only too pleased.

Act as a shelter for the homeless, maybe, but to become a tavern for the homeless ...
doubtful.

Same like to write and even picked up the artwork, but became disgusted and decided against it.

Yes, Seema, Misericordia (Mercy) - the image of Protection Western-style.
