LARGER THAN LIBERTY
The biggest statue in the world is the statue of Liberty — 151t high to the top of the torch. The base is 155ft high..
One of the most colossal a European statues is that of- Sanı Carlo Borromeo overlooking La- go Maggiore. It is 75ft high and stands on a. 40ft pedestal.
Some idea of its size can be gathered from the fact that the head is about 20ft in circumfer- ence, the ears are 24ft long, the eyes 1ft 7in wide, and the arm 130ft long.
