The world is full of strange monuments but last Sunday we got one more. You may not realize that there is a World Association of Ugly People. (Of course we'd never heard of it, since we're not members.) It began in Italy and now has 25 branches throughout the world.
In honor of this large group of people who believe that "what's underneath is what counts", the town of Piobbico in Italy's north unveiled a monument to ugly people on the weekend. It shows an ugly man looking at himself in the mirror, and the artist hopes that onlookers will feel encouraged to look in the mirror to see beyond their beauty or ugliness. Deep.
