Golden wings


The Brunswick Monument is a memorial to the Duke of Brunswick who died in Geneva in 1873. He left his fortune to the city on the condition that they erect him a monument even more beautiful than that of the Scaligeri family in Verona. I think the golden-winged angels fit the bill. Photo taken in February 2004.
