    An imposing bronze statue dedicated to the legendary Gleaner of Sapri, the protagonist of Luigi Mercantini's famous poem. It depicts the young peasant girl who, according to the poem, witnessed Carlo Pisacane's ill-fated expedition in 1857. Located on the Sapri seafront, the statue overlooks the Gulf of Policastro and offers a spectacular panoramic view, a symbol of freedom and historical memory.

    The Spigolatrice of Sapri is the protagonist of the homonymous poem by Luigi Mercantini. The poem is inspired by Carlo Pisacane's failed Sapri expedition (1857) with which he wanted to trigger an anti-Bourbon revolution in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

    The sculpture is a homage to La Spigolatrice di Sapri, a poem by Luigi Mercantini from 1857.
    Many have described the bronze statue of a woman in a transparent dress as "sexist." Some have even called for its removal.
