Will Someone Erect a Statue of You?

I took the picture of this statue which is on the Gran Via Católica. I have a little rule of tourism: if I take a picture of a statue I then try to learn something about the person who posed for it. I found out a little about Salvador Giner because I figure that he was probably more renowned in his lifetime than I'll ever be in mine. I seriously doubt that anyone will bother to erect a statue in my likeness after I pass away (perhaps I should pay someone to do it?). I did come up with the cure for the common cold but I will probably never get credit for it.
