Monument to Shoemaker
The Monument to the Shoemaker (Portuguese: Monumento Ao Sapateiro) is a public sculpture in Novo Hamburgo, southern Brazil. It was designed by the artist Flávio Scholles in homage to the workers of shoe factories in Novo Hamburgo, and was inaugurated on 1 May 1979. The sculpture is located on a roundabout at the junction of Av. Nações Unidas and Av. Nicolau Becker.
The six vertical elements represent the six days the workers worked each week, under an eight-hour clock, representing eight hours a day working on the production lines.[1]
