Mandarich Development Corporation CEO traveled to Vienna and was inspired by the Belvedere Gardens and Viennese architecture. His dream was to re-create a Viennese feeling as a theme for one of his developments and thus the

Sonoma Garden Living was commissioned to reproduce such objects commensurate to those observed in Vienna, Austria. One of the most prominent items was a statue of Johann S. Strauss.
