The new N-II main road roundabout at the south entrance to Figueres became for a few minutes the stage for piano performance of the work Nexe by the pianist and composer Santi Escura, beside a six-metre cypress tree, to symbolise the forthcoming construction in that same place of the monument designed by the architect \u00d2scar Tusquets, which will be an enormous steel cypress-fountain 24 metres high. The project was presented on 29 November past to the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00d2scar Tusquets himself stated that &#8220;only an Alt Empord\u00e0 region mayor could have had the idea of staging a piano concert in the middle of a roundabout surrounded by traffic&#8221;. The architect, who designed the monument, was also of the opinion that &#8220;Salvador Dal\u00ed would have liked this event very much, and approved of the site chosen for the sculpture&#8221;. The president of the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation, Ramon Boixad\u00f3s, explained that this event formed part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of inauguration of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum and that the monument &#8211; with a budget of 40 million pesetas financed by the Foundation &#8211; will be completed by next summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A certain air of surrealism presided over the symbolic act of laying of the first stone of the sculpture dedicated to Salvador Dal\u00ed, held today in Figueres.
