In 1987, the small republic of San Marino issued a set of ten definitive postage stamps featuring public sculptures. Known as the ‘open air museum,’ these works of art may be found throughout the city but there is a concentration of them in an area called Crossbowman’s Quarry. There are a total of sixteen sculptures in the ‘open air museum’ but only nine are shown on the stamps. Two of these are by prolific twentieth-century Italian artist Antonio Berti.
This statue of a young woman holding a dove and an olive branch, two symbols of peace, is one of the sculptures in Crossbowman’s Quarry.
