CHAPTER II
16 June 1931 the venire declares the defendant not guilty to all the 23 charges, "The Untouchables" have failed miserably.

Al Capone, the most responsible for the unhealthy climate of Blood City, is on the loose. The number of homicides will increase, now he controls the underground city entirely; at the head of The Steamfit he sows terror and dictates law, its law. The number 1 enemy of America has proven to be the only true untouchable.

"Graft is a byword in American life today. It is law, where no other law is obeyed. It is undermining the country. The honest lawmakers of any city can be counted on your fingers. I could count Chicago’s 2.0 on one hand! Virtue, honor, truth and the law have all vanished from our life". This is his ethics. “I'm the boss. I'm going to continue to run things. They've been putting the roscoe on me for a good many years and I'm still healthy and happy. Don't let anybody kid you into thinking I can be run out of town. I haven't run yet and I'm not going to."

Al Capone is casted in white metal and is in scale 1:32. The concept was done by Andrea Jula and the sculpture by Pedro Fernández Ramos.

Absolutely grotesque......but there's something so weird about it, it's fascinating.......Jula and Ramos the Damien Hirst and Francis Bacon (get it) of the modelling world.
The idea of the still and tap is interesting....mind you I've been passing alcohol through my system for decades ;)

Not at all, Vittorio. In English, a "sow" is a female pig, so you inadvertently made a humorous play on words that relates to the figure (which is called a "pun"). I should have realized it wouldn't translate well.

A very creative figure, by the way.
 
I like it, weird and wonderful and keeps you looking to figure it out. Great character in the face and the tommy gun is excellent. Not sure about the tap on his mid section though.
