The three-meter high statue of Sylvester Stallone in the role of Rocky, made by a Croatian sculptor, was revealed late Saturday in the centre of Zitiste. The idea to build a statue came to a village inhabitant in February who said he wanted to pay tribute to his favourite hero after seeing the sixth and latest “Rocky” movie.
