Villagers pin hopes on Rocky Balboa
After watching the latest Stallone film, "Rocky Balboa," Žitište local Bojan Marčeta came to the idea or raising a monument. With a couple friends from Žitište, he will register the "Rocky Balboa" Association.The Local Council of Žitište already supported the initiative.
"Until couple of days ago it was like a half-joke," Zoran Babić, a local official, told ABC News in a phone interview. "For years, only negative reports on farm diseases, monstrous murders, floods and landslides, have been coming from our village. This is the chance to give a better, more positive image to Žitište.
"We already contacted the people in Philadelphia and we even e-mailed … the sculptor of the original 1980 statue, to see if he can help us," he added.
Žitište is a hunting village, often visited by hunters from Italy, and almost all cafes have Italian names. According to this, the monument to the "Italian Stallion" is more than appropriate, this village believes.
A city of Mostar in Bosnia already has a statue of the famous Bruce Lee. Maybe a new trend of raising celebrity monuments will begin in the region.
