di tutta questa gran costruzione, impalcatura. Di quello che non vedi, che non tocchi. Di chi ti dice: “Chiudi gli occhi, e buttati”.

The Transamerica Building & Financial District (FiDi) viewed through my friend's living room window.
Looking up in Manhattan's Financial District at a mixture of architectural styles on a recent snowy morning. That's 70 Pine Street reaching towards the fog in the middle and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the far right. Under construction at the left is 84 William Street, being converted from offices to furnished apartments.

Fearless Girl located in Financial District of Lower Manhattan, southern tip of Manhattan in New York City
It is a bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal installed in 2017, in anticipation of International Women's Day the following day.
It was commissioned by State Street Global Advisors, a large asset management company, to advertise for an index fund that comprises gender-diverse companies that have a relatively high percentage of women among their senior leadership. A plaque originally placed below the statue stated: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol.
The statue was first installed at the northern tip of Bowling Green on Broadway, facing down the Charging Bull statue. Following complaints from that statue's sculptor, Arturo Di Modica, it was removed in 2018 and relocated to its current location. A plaque with footprints was placed on the original site of Fearless Girl.

The Financial District of Lower Manhattan, southern tip of Manhattan in New York City
The City of New York was originally created in the Financial District in 1624, and the neighbourhood roughly overlaps with the boundaries of the New Amsterdam settlement in the late 17th century.
The district comprises the offices and headquarters of many of the city's major financial institutions, including the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
New York City has been called both the most financially powerful city and the leading financial centre of the world, and the New York Stock Exchange is the world's largest stock exchange by total market capitalization.
Several other major exchanges have or had headquarters in the Financial District, including the New York Mercantile Exchange, NASDAQ, the New York Board of Trade, and the former American Stock Exchange.
