== Description ==
The sculpture, made with the bas-relief technique, made particular in the effects of bronze, represents a woman who raises a child to the sky towards Lake Como to represent the defense of life and the protection that the ancient Borgo di Lierna on the shore al Lago has been giving back to its people for millennia. It is said that from this sculpture was born the idea of ​​creating a lighthouse with a fountain always present in Piazza di Lierna.

The woman stands on a rock, like Lierna which is a city that is said to have been born on a rock called "La Rocca". Castiglioni's signature can be seen just under the rock on the lake.
