Monumento Le Mani is an impressive bronze sculpture situated in viale Tokamachi, right under the staircase leading from the Como San Giovanni railway station. Created by artists Massimo Clerici and Doriam Battaglia and installed in 2000, the monument depicts a pair of massive, intricately detailed hands. It serves as a symbolic tribute to those dedicated to the service of the state. Because it sits directly on the main pedestrian path into the old town, it is one of the first landmarks many travelers encounter. The sculpture is set within a small park area, making it a comfortable spot to pause and admire the craftsmanship. Visitors often enjoy viewing the piece from different angles to capture its scale and detail. Its proximity to a public water fountain also makes it a practical meeting point before heading further into the heart of Como.
