Bud Spencer statue inaugurated in Budapest
Change language:
According to mno.hu, Hungary is the first country to mount a statue in honour of Bud Spencer. The 240 centimetres tall bronze work of sculptor Szandra Tasnádi was inaugurated on the Corvin walk over the weekend.
The statue depicts the actor with a saddle on his shoulders, which might be familiar if you saw the opening scene of They Call Me Trinity 2. The quote written on the pedestal of the statue reminds us of how lyric the scene is.
As Bud Spencer’s (Carlo Pedersoli) partner in crime, Terence Hill (Mario Girotti) said at the funeral, he is sure that he will be welcomed by his friend with a saddle on his shoulders when he goes to heaven.
The sculptor was born on the same day as Bud Spencer, so the statue was planned to be inaugurated on the very day. However, the event was postponed so that the children of the actor, Cristiana and Diamante could be present as guests of honour.
