The most boaring mascot
Meet Porcellino. He's a reproduction of a Baroque sculpture in Florence. He’s also the Faculty of Arts’ good luck charm and mascot. Legend has it, rubbing his nose brings good luck. This is why the snout on the 700 pound boar statue is so polished compared to the rest of the bronze beast – all the Arts students who have rubbed his nose before exam time in hopes of acing their finals.
You’ll find Porcellino perched outside of the Modern Languages building overlooking the Arts Quad, an outdoor space where Arts students gather in between classes. His fierce embodiment of curiosity, perseverance, and integrity makes him the perfect mascot for Arts students.
