Monument To The Immigrant

New Orleans, Louisiana

This 1995 statue is located on the bank of the Mississippi River, in Waldenberg Park on the River Walk. It is of white Carrara marble and is created by local sculptor Franco Allesandrini.
On one side, Miss Liberty faces the mighty Mississippi, while an immigrant family faces the French Quarter, where most immigrants lived when they came to this area.

My wife, Elaine, and I were members of the Italian American Marching Club of New orleans (although I am German and Irish and she is French) and in 1994 we, along with 38 other members of the club, visited Carrara to watch the statue being carved. It was a stop on an 11 day tour. You captured it beautifully. Vote.

Bravo for you, Jola. You showed me something I have never seen---and in my own City.

A very moving sculpture to remind all who see it of the bravery of all who venture to foreign lands in search of a better life.
