It was decided that the statues, which play an important scenographic role, should represent the city's two major rivers, the Po and the Dora. Therefore, a competition was held, open to all young artists of the time, which resulted in the examination of 56 sketches. The winner was the sculptor Umberto Baglioni [Scalea 1893 - Turin 1965], who chose to represent the two waterways in the form of human figures: a bearded man and a strikingly shapely woman, both reclining on a marble base.
