In 2014, a bronze bust of Frederic Chopin was ceremonially unveiled at the entrance to the Chopin Passage located under the Congress Square in Ljubljana. This monument, a tribute to the eminent Polish composer, was donated to Slovenia by the Republic of Poland as part of the celebrations of the bicentenary of Chopin's birth. The author is the Polish sculptor and long-time head of the Department of Stone Sculpture Conservation at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Professor Adam Roman (1916-2013). He is also the creator of two other busts of Chopin, which are located in Tokyo and Königsberg. To the memory of the piano genius, the International Chopin Piano Competition for the Golden Ring, aimed at young pianists, is held in Slovenia every year.
