L.O.V.E., a thirteen-foot high marble sculpture known colloquially as “that giant middle finger,” created by Maurizio Cattelan, one of Italy’s most important contemporary artists. L.O.V.E. stands in Piazza degli Affari, seeming to flip off the Stock Exchange Building. Artist Maurizio Cattelan didn’t exactly depict a hand that’s flipping the bird, but rather a closer look shows all the other fingers have been chopped off. It can also be interpreted as the artist’s way of saying”f*ck you” to the bankers and financiers who work inside the square’s buildings. My opinion is that the the Bankers say ”f*ck you” to the customers if you look the wright perspective of the Hand. Cattelan created the statue in 2010, and he donated it to the city so long as it was displayed in this piazza.

Il Dito. It's real title is L. O. V. E. (Liberta', Odio, Vendetta and Eternita'). It's by the artist Maurizio Cattelan. Originally intended as a temporary exhibit, it has remained in front of the Milan Stock Exchange building since 2010. It's open to various interpretations but the irony of giving the bird to the financial institutions (not long after the 2008 crash) is not lost.

"Libertà, Odio, Vendetta, Eternità." I generally have mixed feelings when it comes to Cattelan's work, but I do find this one particularly fascinating. Il Dito inflicts judgement upon the infamous fascist salute while, at the same time, sending a direct message against financial institutions. Pretty hard not to like it, or at least respect it even a little bit.
