イタリアの市が、隣の市が手放した「水兵と看護師の接吻像」を、3年・2万ユーロで借りることを決めた。

Santa Marinella, a town on the Tyrrhenian coast of Lazio in central Italy, near Civitavecchia, passed a resolution on the morning of 30 April 2025. It will rent, for three years, the 'Statua del Bacio,' the Kiss statue, that had stood in neighbouring Civitavecchia.

The statue is of the familiar composition of a sailor kissing a nurse. After Civitavecchia decided not to renew the lease for its place in the harbour square, the mayor of Santa Marinella, Pietro Tidei, pushed hard to bring it over.

The resolution records that the agreement with the owner runs for three years, that the cost is twenty thousand euros, expected to be covered by private sponsors, and that the statue will be placed at the tourist marina. Santa Marinella is also known as the 'Pearl of the Tyrrhenian.'
