Do you know about the origin of the Bull of Wall Street? And do you know it was sculpted by an Italian artist? Another episode of “Nuova York, Hidden in Plain Sight”, tells the whole story.

“Charging Bull” a.k.a. “Bull of Wall Street” a.k.a. “Bowling Green Bull”,  is a bronze sculpture standing on Broadway north of Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan. The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) bronze sculpture, standing 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measuring 16 feet (4.9 m) long, depicts the symbol of financial optimism and prosperity. Charging Bull is a popular tourist destination that draws thousands of people a day.
