Arturo Di Modica was an Italian-born, American sculptor, widely known for his Charging Bull sculpture which he left outside the New York Stock Exchange on December 15, 1989, as his gift to the United States. He arrived in New York penniless in 1970 and rose to success. In 1987, Black Monday struck the U.S. stock markets by which point Di Modica felt indebted to the country. Charging Bull was intended by Di Modica to inspire everyone who came into contact with it to carry on fighting through hard times for the future.
