Internationally renowned sculptor Sergio Furnari, famed for his iconic “Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper statue,” will unveil this iconic and eternal 12-foot-tall metal monument for Football Star Cristiano Ronaldo’s 40th Birthday celebration.
The mission of Sergio Furnari is clear – whether you’re a fan or not, in Manchester, Madrid, Italy, New York, Lisbon, Australia, etc. – to break the world record for the most people simultaneously performing the “Siu” celebration. All are encouraged from everywhere in the world to join together via social media using livestreams and the hashtag “#siunyc”.
The monument is mounted on a truck to go on a world tour after this event celebration. The larger-than-life statue captures Ronaldo in one of his most iconic poses, exuding the strength, determination, and grace that have defined his career.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Furnari’s sculpture aims to immortalize the essence of Ronaldo not just as a sportsman but as a cultural icon who has inspired billions around the globe.
“Creativity is an art and a sacrifice. You have to be able to put yourself in a position to completely spend yourself emotionally and financially,” says Furnari.
“No matter how much talent you may have, if you don’t give everything you won’t get anything. I have spent millions of dollars, over thousands of hours of work, and an immense amount of discipline in which I can’t calculate.
” He continues, “Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just a football player; he is a symbol of perseverance, excellence, and global unity that inspired me on the creation of this masterpiece.”
The unveiling will be accompanied by a grand celebration birthday party and guest appearances from notable figures in the sports and entertainment industries. Fans and visitors from around the world are expected to gather in Times Square to witness this historic event.
“Over the years, everybody feels like the Ballon D’Or and the Golden Boot awards have lost credibility.” he says. “I’m here to announce the football monument award. This means that every year the best player in the world will get a colosoul four-meter stainless steel monument to be preserved for the next generation to come.”
Furnari’s goal is to spread as much love and unity through this art piece, his dream is to tour around hospitals for sick children and inspire them. Furnari found inspiration within the project to expand its impactors, aspiring to connect with charities and those in need as a way to give back. “I strongly believe that with the right training and mental preparation Ronaldo could win the World Cup in 2026,” he says. “The whole continent will be waiting and cheering for you.”
“All influencers, YouTubers, fans, etc. are all welcome to join our celebration!” “PS…I love, adore, and respect Messi and obviously is one of the greatest as well. 4-5 million people celebrated in Buenos Aires after winning the world cup.
What if we could get a world Guinness record celebration of over one billion people celebrating at the same time at 11:11am (NYC time) :). If we unite, we will make it happen! Hey… Messi you could be a part of the celebration too!!! Don’t worry we won’t tell no one. :D”.
We had the great pleasure of meeting Sculptor Sergio Furnari, a wonderful man on the shy side with very less words, but a giant in the Art and Sculptor worlds.
I looked at the statue in detail from head to toe, it had facial details, even the football shoes, looked so real, the outfit Ronaldo was wearing on the statue was very well put together with an array of colors.
I had a pleasure of getting on the stage, Mr. Funari, wanted me to say that he would be very happy to bring the Monument to Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo is signed to Al-Nassr FC, in Saudi Arabia and showcase it there. If there is any interest, there and have Ronaldo there in person to welcome his monument.
About Cristiano Ronaldo: Cristiano Ronaldo (born February 5, 1985, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal) is a Portuguese football (soccer) forward who is one of the greatest players of his generation. Ronaldo is the winner of five Ballon d’Or awards (2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017), and in 2024 he became the first men’s player to score 900 career goals in official matches.
After a successful season with Sporting that brought the young player to the attention of Europe’s biggest football clubs, Ronaldo signed with English powerhouse Manchester United in 2003.
He was an instant sensation and soon came to be regarded as one of the best forwards in the game. His finest season with United came in 2007–08, when he scored 42 League and Cup goals and earned the Golden Shoe award as Europe’s leading scorer, with 31 League goals. After helping United to a Champions League title in May 2008, Ronaldo captured Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Player of the Year honors for his stellar 2007–08 season. He also led United to an appearance in the 2009 Champions League final, which they lost to FC Barcelona.
Ronaldo was one of the most well-known sports stars off the field, and numerous studies of athletes’ popularity showed that he was the most-beloved athlete in the world during his playing peak. His extreme popularity made Ronaldo one of the highest-paid endorsers in sports history, and in November 2016 he became the third person (after basketball superstars Michael Jordan and LeBron James) to earn a “lifetime” contract from the sportswear company Nike. Moreover, he established his own successful “CR7” brand of products that included shoes, underwear, and fragrances.
