Recently, the creator of the bronze bull sculpture on Wall Street passed away at the age of 80. He is a sculptor from Italy, named Arturo Di Modica, who suffered from cancer many years ago and has been battling cancer for many years, passing away in Sicily on February 19, 2021.
One of Arturo Di Modica's masterpieces is a bronze bull statue located in the financial district of Manhattan in New York City, this bronze bull statue weighs about 3,200 kilograms, is high and long, and is also one of the symbols of Wall Street and even New York in the United States. Because it is located near the New York Stock Exchange in the United States, it is also known as the "bull market" and is considered by the public to be the "mascot" of the American financial market.
This bronze bull statue also has different meanings for China and the United States, 2009 is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, in order to celebrate the arrival of this day, the then United States ** Obama, during his visit to China, raised the Chinese flag next to this "Wall Street Bronze Bull", it also witnessed the friendship between China and the United States for many years.
The "Wall Street Copper Bull" means that the bull is full of energy, and it is located in the first exchange on Wall Street in New York, USA, which has the meaning of prosperity. The origin of this statue is also legendary, it originated from the whims of a sculptor and put it into action.
This "Wall Street Bronze Bull" is also a huge opportunity for the original creator, Arturo Di Modica. Arturo Di Modica, who came to the United States in his early years, was still a lonely ordinary person, and one day he passed by Wall Street, and it occurred to him that Wall Street, as the heart of world finance, would definitely attract the attention of many people if he created a good work and placed it here. Two years later, on the night of December 15, 1989, Arturo Di Modica used a large truck to move the tonnage bronze bull statue to the Christmas tree near the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street, implying that the coming year will be a bull.
The next day, when Arturo Di Modica went to look, he found that the copper bull was blocked by **, and New York City** asked him to pull the copper bull away immediately, but the opportunity came, and the director of a park asked to buy the copper bull and put it in the park. Eventually, Arturo Di Modica sold the bronze bull statue, but asked the buyer to keep it on Wall Street, and the bull statue was donated to New York City.
At present, the "Wall Street Bronze Bull" has become public property in New York City, and Modica, as the original creator, has the image rights to the bull sculpture.

The Italian sculptor died and spent $350,000 to make the "Wall Street Bronze Bull", what achievements did he have?
According to local **20 (local time) reports such as Italy's "La Repubblica", Italian sculptor Arturo Di Modica (Arturo Di Modica) died at the age of 80 after battling cancer for several years. Di Modica is best known for his work on the bronze bull statue of Wall Street, known as the "symbol of Wall Street."
It is reported that Di Modica has lived in New York for more than 40 years, and the long, heavy-ton Wall Street Copper Bull was inspired by the "Black Monday" that began in October 1987. Di Modica later explained the background of the production, saying, "I want people to realize the fact that they are powerful," and paid about $350,000 for the production of the Bronze Bull at his own expense.
Dimodica's first chosen foothold for it was the sidewalk in front of the New York Stock Exchange. In December 1989, Di Modica erected the statue in front of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) without permission from the City of New York. At that time, after the demolition of the bronze bull with illegal sculptures, people complained.
At that time, in order to ensure the safety of Tongniu, the police patrolled around Tongniu at 8 o'clock every night. When people first saw this behemoth with a strong body and glowing nostrils, they were shocked by the "cow" aura that exuded its body.
The Copper Bull has since been relocated to a park near the Exchange with permission from the City of New York**. The Bronze Bull on Wall Street is a symbol of "strength and courage", which means that as long as the Copper Bull is there, the "bull" market can be maintained forever.
More and more people still fantasize about being sheltered by the Bronze Bull. Many financial centers and trading markets in the world have followed suit and sculpted a bronze bull. Moreover, there is no shortage of innovations in imitation.
These newly shaped bronze bulls are also a thousand bells, some are galloping, some are looking up to the sky, and some are arrogant. They carry the owner's dreams and convey the owner's wishes. In people's imagination, the copper bull is retained, that is, the wealth is retained.
So some people also chained the bronze ox, hoping that it would stay here forever and be loyal to its master.
In December 2019, New York City announced plans to move the Copper Bull back to the exchange, citing visitor safety concerns. The plan was met with strong opposition from Di Modica, who said that "the location is perfect now".
