RESUMO

Inaugurated in 1934 at Campinas, the Campos Sales Monument stood for almost three decades at Largo do Rosario, Campinas? Main Square. In the end of the 1950?s, the city?s downtown area went through an urban renewal/reform and the monument was transferred to a small, narrow square next to the main railway station. This study analyzes the process of the republican Campos Sales? posthumous image-building and the relationship established through time between this kind of art (personalist and celebrative) and the city. It also analyzes the debate over the artwork s integrity and the issue of authorship brought up by the withdrawal of the monument base in order to relocate it to its new site. This research intends to provide elements for further studies on the city, considering the Campos Sales Monument an agent of urban history
