Statue of Liberty

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY – SYMBOL

OF THE AMERICAN NATION

fOREWORD

It may look surprising that the symbol of American freedom was designed by a French person. This theme was a real challenge for me and I tried to find out what are the connections between the two nations , what were the causes which determined Bartholdi to create this impressive monument and the reasons for which the French nation offered with such generosity this wonderful gift to the USA.

Studying the history and the construction details of the Statue of Liberty I realized the tight bond between, the way American people live, the American Constitution and this building, the expression of a free spirit whose chains have been broken and which stood out and continues to stand out successfully conveying its message of freedom and self-assertion to the entire world.
