Italy's Vagli di Sotto in the Tuscan hills is willing to spend $85,000 on crafting a statue of Donald Trump to bring in more tourists to the mountains. The marbled-Trump figure will be erected in the Park of Honor and Dishonor together with other famous marbled personalities.
Though on which side the controversial president will be built, tourists can only speculate. Meanwhile, Mayor Mario Puglia told The Local Italy, "I'm not going to enter in discussion over whether his actions are right or wrong. But at the moment Trump is the only politician who is following through on his promises, doing what he said on the campaign trail."
Donations came pouring in from English, American and Italian businesspeople who would like to see the statue realized. Puglia, though wanting to have Trump visiting the town, said he might not come but would have the American Ambassador take his place.
Last year, Vagli di Sotto received more than 250,000 visitors and was confident that it would be more by the end of 2017 because of their Trump statute. The mayor also boasted their marble statues are one of the most beautifully made one in the world.
Whether people would have those words, people can't help but wonder where does Trump stand in? Will he be beside the heroic French police dog in the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015 or by the notorious captain of the Costa Concordia cruise sinking ship in 2012?
The town, though only has 1,000 citizens living it, would also want to know the mayor's plan on where to place Trump. However, they would be enjoying a marble statue of David Bowie first in the next few days before jumping with fear and amazement over their Trump figure.
What makes Trump worth $85,000 and David Bowie only $70,000 only has people and businessmen excited for their big project.
