I had been shopping for what seemed forever for a Madonna statue but nothing I saw appealed to me. I decided to search the web for designers of Christian garden statues and came across the Tiscano site. After several hrs of comparing statue design, statue night, materials & costs with other designers I knew Tiscano Madonna of Notre Dame was the one I was going to purchase. This statue is the most beautifully representation of the Blessed Mother I have ever seen and my neighbors can not get over just how beautiful she looks.
