Interesting secrets about the famous American Wall Street bull

When coming to the famous American Wall Street, many people are impressed with the image of a giant bull standing proudly. Many tourists take pictures with this bronze cow and learn interesting things about the Wall Street icon.

Located in New York, America’s famous Wall Street bull is a popular destination that millions of tourists visit each year. When coming here, many tourists pose and take pictures with the giant bronze bull located on Wall Street. This bronze bull is a symbol of Wall Street created by Italian-American painter and sculptor Arturo Di Modica. Mr. Modica left Italy for New York, USA to live in the 1970s. Here, he made a living by opening a sculpture studio on Grand Street (now in the SoHo area of ​​Manhattan). After seeing the US stock market crash in 1987, Mr. Modica came up with the idea of ​​creating a bronze bull to inspire people to get through tough times together. At the same time, through the bronze cow statue, Mr. Modica wants to praise the perseverance and patience of American businessmen. Mr. Modica chose the image of a bull to sculpt because it symbolizes a prosperous and strong market. Therefore, Mr. Modica spent 360,000 USD to mold and shape the bronze cow. After 2 years of hard work, he finished the bronze bull in October 1989. The copper bull that Mr. Modica created is “huge” in size when it is about 3.3m tall and weighs up to 35 tons. To surprise everyone, Mr. Modica and 3 friends used a truck to take the bull to Wall Street at midnight on December 15, 1989. They put it next to the Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The next morning, people were amazed and delighted to see the bronze bull in the middle of Wall Street. However, employees of the New York Stock Exchange were not very pleased with this special gift. So, the New York Stock Exchange contacted the police to have them take the bronze cow to another location on December 16. After learning that the bronze cow had been moved, many residents expressed their regret and petitioned the authorities to bring the cow back to the city center. Listening to the opinions of the people, the New York Department of Parks and Recreation decided to place Mr. Modica’s bronze bull on Broadway, north of Bowling Green and below the intersection on Morris Street. This location is about 2 blocks from the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, the bronze bull on Wall Street has become a famous symbol that many tourists come to when visiting New York.
