"A escultura de 25 metros inspirada em São Jorge criada para ficar no Itaquerão, estádio do Corinthians e que receberá a abertura da Copa na proxima quinta-feira (12), ficara mais de 20 km do palco de Bmsil x Croacia.
Apos a recusa do Corinthians em deixar a obra na area, alegando que nao estava no projeto a prefeitura de Guarulhos decidiu que colocara a escultura batizada de Cavalheiro Fiel, em uma praca as margens da rodovia Helio Smidt, a pouco quilômetros do aeroporto internacional de Cumbica, principal porta de entrada de estrangeiros na cidade de São Paulo.
“Sera uma praca que recebera também outras esculturas minhas, como bustos que fiz para alguns cranques que jogarão essa copa. Todas as pessoas que saiaram do aeroporto com destino a São Paulo, verão as obras, principalmente o Cavaleiro Fiel, disse o escultor Gilmar Pinna, 55 que fez a obra para doa-la ao Corinthians." (

About Saint John: "John the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Generally listed as the youngest apostle, he was the son of Zebedee and Salome or Joanna. His brother was James, who was another of the Twelve Apostles. The Church Fathers identify him as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, John the Elder and the Beloved Disciple, and testify that he outlived the remaining apostles and that he was the only one to die of natural causes. The traditions of most Christian denominations have held that John the Apostle is the author of several books of the New Testament." (
