“Memory and Light” – In memory of the victims of 11 September
There is only one monument in Europe dedicated to the tragedy of 11 September and it is in Padua. The work is called "Memoria e Luce" (Memory and Light) and represents a large steel and glass book, open towards the Statue of Liberty in New York: a white book still to be written, with a "piece" of memory embedded between the pages. In fact, the left page contains an almost six-metre beam from the south tower of the World Trade Center, which was donated by the United States to the Veneto Region.
