Since the Renaissance, making a beautiful city is a recurrent issue in Western urban theory and practice. Against the background of this problem can be located the great theme of urban decorum, “the ‘adjustment’ of the means expressible to expressed content” (Tafuri, 1968 ). The classical writers declared the main ideas for an organized and beautiful urban environment. Another manifestation of these ideas was the monumental use of sculpture in public places by placing a statue or an obelisk in the center of a plaza, a tradition that was widely adopted after the sixteenth century.
