This likeness of the Italian master was found in an unlikely place in Florida--Tarpon Springs. This small town on the Gulf of Mexico has been the home of Greek sponge divers for over a century. I never expected to find a bust of Verdi in a city that was so fundamentally Greek, but I found the reason the merchant had it on display. On the bottom of the 6-inch statue was a sticker that read "Made in Greece."
