Mento, the workman

Mento, the Workman, is a captivating gray concrete living statue, straight from the 1920s, embodying the charm, humor, and ingenuity of a classic working man. With his sturdy ladder in hand, he playfully engages the audience—especially children—inviting them to step into his world of fun and discovery.

He flips, turns, and inspects the ladder as if encountering it for the first time, his curious nature sparking laughter and delight. Every movement feels spontaneous, as though he’s constantly unraveling the mysteries of his trade.

Through lighthearted antics and joyful interactions, Mento revives the spirit of old-time craftsmanship, reminding us of the simple joys in life—the magic hidden in everyday work and play.
