Monument to the Roman Poet Trilussa

---

On December 21st 1950, the Roman poet Carlo Alberto Salustri (1871-1950), who wrote under the pen name of Trilussa (an anagram of his surname), died. 

Four years later a rather quirky monument to the poet was created by Lorenzo Ferri in 1954. The monument to Trilussa, who wrote in Romanesco, the dialect of Rome, can be found in Piazza Trilussa, in Trastevere, the area in which the poet lived.
