Violin stolen from Strauss' statue in
Havana
HAVANA, Cuba, March 5 (Ariel Delgado Covarrubias
/ www.cubanet.org) - Thieves took the bronze
violin from the statue of Johann Strauss
in the Havana park named after the Viennese
musician, but were apprehended as they made
their getaway along Línea Street.
The statue has been taken down and is being
repaired, said a park custodian.
The statue was donated to Havana by the
city of Vienna in March, 2002, and is a
replica of the one in the Stadtpark, a popular
photographic destination in the Austrian
capital.
A few months ago, a statue of John Lennon
situated in a park about a mile away lost
its glasses twice.
