Photographer's Note
Marco Minghetti (1818 – 1886) was an Italian economist and statesman. He was Prime Minister of Italy in 1863–1864 and in 1873–1876.
There's this statue of Minghetti in the centre of Rome and I was surprised how cool is the advertising behind the statue: it seems like the statue itself is standing on a big scale. What the hell that scale measures? Popularity? Disappointment? Well, the statue looks quite surprised by that 115 lbs (or kgs)..who knows why...

Hi, Rikk,
I do not know what it means. But I see the ex-Prime Minister very surpised too... Hmm...

Hi Riccardo,I love the way you have used the background and created such a lovely piece. The statue sure looks perplexed about it! Nice work

Ciao Riccardo,
una composizione molto simpatica, la pubblicita' sullo sfondo mi piace da morire per questa statua sistemata in piazza san pantaleo se non sbaglio.
hai avuto un ottimo occhio.

Ciao Rikk, It certainly looks like there is some interaction between the Statue & scales, the meaning I don't understand but that does not matter because it is interesting & very well realised in good detail & colour, all from a very good POV.
Bravo, Saluti

Hi Rikko,
Your image brought a good chuckle. There are many chances for symbolism here, but I just like the contrast with huge scale and statue. Thanks for sharing,
Ray

Hahaha,
excellent superimposition of two very different elements that do not have anything to do with each other but through your eyes, tight crop and funny title with text this comes alive. Good and attentive eye!
