What a fine figure of a man he is too. Looks very modern. The first time I ever went to Greece a woman came out of her doorway and called up the street to her child, “Archimedes …” and I knew beyond doubt that I was in Greece and that history hadn’t stopped. Your Sicilian Archimides looks very modern?

  It is quite a recent sculpture of their famous native. 2016 I think.
