The Rebeca arrived from the town of Pietrasanta, Italy, to Bogotá in 1926, making her the first nude female sculpture to be displayed in a public space in the capital. Only in 2012 was the identity of her real sculptor, Tito Ricci, discovered and in the year prior she was moved from the Parque Centenario (of which today’s Parque de la Independencia is just a small remaining part) to be placed in her current, isolated home. Here she is abandoned and occasionally mutilated, painted and, very often, caressed by the streets’ dwellers.
Surrounding her is Neptune’s basin (currently more for garbage than water) where the Rebeca, somewhat sadly, collects water that isn’t present with a bowl and a sculpture of Poseidon’s face that watches her from behind. This whole piece, made in 1885, forms the central axis of the plazoleta.
