Monument to the Signorca doll

The monument to the Signorca doll is a cheerful and, if not extravagant, then certainly memorable, monument to the Signorca doll, which translates as “foolish”. It is a “floating man” thrown on the fabric.

There is no exact interpretation of what the sculpture symbolizes, but there is a version that the doll is a symbol of the male hell: a drunkard and revelers beating his wife. Such a doll was brought to the house of the guilty, so that everyone could see. Over time, this tradition arose: during the festive processions, the doll was tossed into the air on the fabric.

The doll itself is now in the museum. By the way, it is said that the original doll is terrible and ugly, which does not prevent it from being a symbol of the city from the XVII century. There is a monument on the main city square.
