Fontana dell’Amenano, Catania, Sicily
Built in 1867 by the Neapolitan sculptor Tito Angelini, this fountain portrays the Amenano River as a young man holding a cornucopia representing the many benefits the river brings to Catania. The river flows under the city’s main plaza and can be seen at the bottom of the first photo. The fountain is at the entrance to the Piscarìa, the historic fish market of Catania.

The Tomb of Saint Remi in the Basilica of Saint-Remi, Reims.
The original Renaissance tomb was made in the 16th century, but it was destroyed during the French Revolution. This is a replica made in 1847 with some fragments of the original. The rounded end of the tomb depicts St. Remi baptizing Clovis, King of the Franks.

Perhaps one of the most incredible sculptures in the world. It was created by an unknown French sculptor in the 19th century. It's kept in India's Salar Jung Museum.
The sculpture is known under the name "Double statue of Mephistopheles and Marguerite". The fact is that on one side of the statue is a male figure, and on the other - a female figure. Behind the sculpture there is a large mirror, so that you can see both figures and appreciate the skill of the author of this unusual creation. The sculpture is created from a single piece of the most ancient sycamore tree.
