In the heart of Milan’s financial district, you will uncover one of the city’s most controversial public art pieces, the L.O.V.E sculpture, standing for Libertà (freedom), Odio (hatred), Vendetta (revenge) and Eternità (eternity). Created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, it was unveiled in 2010 and is believed to be a statement on the economic crisis and financial crash as well as a symbol of protest against the stock exchange. The impressive carving of the hand is made from Carrara marble and is four metres in height, with its middle finger raised in an act of defiance.
