This is a really interesting problem - if this guy can have a sculpture or work of art in this piazza, who's to stop just about anyone from "donating" art for this space? The art and architecture of this space represents a range of time in history, and while it still has a function today, it seems to me that a sculpture that has a personal (the artists's two homes) rather than political or civic statement has no place here.
