Florence, Folon's Man of Rain restored. Citizens will decide where to place it

The Rain Man, a bronze sculpture by Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon (Uccle, 1934 - Munich, 2005), has been restored after being damaged twice (in 2015 and 2017). Now all that remains is to find a place to place it. Previously the statue, which was donated to the city of Florence on the occasion of the 2002 European Social Forum, was located in the traffic circle in front of theObihall in Lungarno Aldo Moro, where it suffered car accidents. To decide where to erect the sculpture, Mayor Dario Nardella called a poll on his Facebook page.

The post reads thus, "We have restored Folon’s beautiful ’Man of Rain’ and are thinking about where to relocate it. These are the possible options: 1. as always at the Obihall; 2. In Piazza dei Ciompi; 3. In Piazza del Carmine. Which of these do you prefer? Let me know!" It is up to the citizens of Florence present on Facebook to choose!
