animita

ANIMITA In Chile: small house that is installed on the side of the road in respect and remembrance of the souls of relatives who have died tragically and that is maintained by placing flowers and memories of the deceased, similar to the cemetery. Today the style has been varied in the cities, where the bad policy and worse management of the governments (added to the recklessness) causes the death of hundreds of cyclists in the streets of Chile, every year. As a consequence we see bicycles painted white and placed alone or next to the animita, at the site of the fatal accident.
