In the wide research that Crocetti did about the animal world, aside the beautiful felines, rampant horses and majestic cows, there was room also for less massive and more common creatures; like this rooster, portrayed in bigger dimensions than the real subject, like a monument.
Symbol of salvation but also naturally warlike , this rooster by Crocetti is a bird that shows with pride his beauty, raising his crest and showing off his thick plumage. As a simple farm animal, this sculpture gives back to the humble animal the ancestral dignity of vigilance and his bold disposition.
