The bronze bust is characterized by the size, doubled compared with the natural proportions, in order to make it visible in its open position, and the perfect similarity, in anatomical features and expressions of Carmine Calò. The day of the inauguration of the monument, which took place in January of 2002, the widow of Calò said, "it looks like it might speak at any moment!", causing great commotion among those present.
