    Hiking

    This statue shows François Grimaldi, also known as “Il Malizia” (the Cunning). The statue commemorates the legendary conquest of Monaco in 1297, when François Grimaldi, disguised as a monk, entered the fortress and took it for the Grimaldi family. The statue is located near the Prince's Palace of Monaco and was created by sculptor Kees Verkade.

    The work symbolizes the origins of the Grimaldi family's rule over Monaco, a tradition that has existed for more than seven centuries.

    François Grimaldi, nicknamed Malizia (the cunning), was the Genoese leader of the Guelphs who captured the Rock of Monaco on the night of 8 January 1297, thus founding the House of Grimaldi, which still reigns there today.
