The costly project will be bankrolled by a variety of donors, including British, American and Italian businesses. And despite the statue in his likeness, Mr Puglia said he doubted the billionaire tycoon would visit the effigy himself in the picturesque village, in the Lucca province.

The Italian park houses dozens of interesting marble statues, with a statue of late singer David Bowie to be installed over the next few days. Mr Trump will join the icon after the €65,000 (£55,000) project was commissioned after the Ziggy Stardust legend's death and completed last month. It too was financed by private business.
