"Mercurial" is the polite term people used to describe Benjarmino Bufano's temperament. He fought with his patrons, he withheld his art from them when they offended him or did not offer adequate commission, and made people fear him. People talked about him even after his death. Holy Cross Cemetery rejected his tombstone (a modern statue of Saint Francis) as unsuitable for their cemetery, so Bufano and his monument were placed in a back corner at the head of the plot for indigent children.
