We're used to seeing on our streets nondescript labels with the same name. They are simple metal sheet or the best a tile of those who placed the City since the 90s.
But there was a time named a street to a leading figure was a symbol of prestige and as such the label should go accordingly and be superior to others. These unique signs we can see even in Alicante on the streets or Luis Miguel Soler Foglietti (Santa Faz). Others have disappeared from our streets and marble sign Rafael Altamira street (from Bañuls) or Physician Manero Molla.
Before talking about the signs of sculptors Delpla do a tour of the unique signs and memorial plaques. According Truth dated September 7, 1973 were in Alicante the following tombstones:

also cites the Palamó Cross located on the Plaza Cross the B º Virgen del Remedio, opposite the gas station and Green Gates says he is removed. Served to separate the two towns of Alicante and Villafranqueza.
But in fact missing some such as the Calle Rafael Altamira de Vicente Bañuls and these two are going to make then true masterpieces of the sculptor Isaac Delpla Cappa which will be discussed below.

Delpla Signs carved in 1935 and placed in
Avenida Ramón y Cajal (to me will always be Canalejas) and on the street
Joaquin Costa (before today Branches and Reyes Católicos).
Where are they?
no doubt we are before the most beautiful street signs ever for a road carved Alicante (with permission of Bañuls). Unfortunately the Republican shield that adorns both boards did not allow them to last beyond 1940 or so. Moreover, the Republican Costa gave up his place to the imperial Catholic Monarchs. Sad fate for these two entrance panels. Were they destroyed? Will they be in a store?
And now let's talk about D. Isaac Delpla (not Delplau) Cappa. Being a child is released to the adventure traveler to Italy where he studied classical art (this time without being influenced by fascists). He travels to France to study, keeping the Louvre some of his works. There in Paris was re claimed by D. Basilio Paraíso in Spain to conduct a bust of D. Niceto Alcalá Zamora. Later others would follow Lerroux to radical circles in Madrid and Zaragoza. It is in Zaragoza which would make one of his masterpieces, the monument to the heroes of Jaca Fermín Galán and Ángel Hernández G ª. In Alicante made these two beautiful plaques would be placed December 22, 1935. Unfortunately his work, predominantly Republican, would fall into oblivion buried by ignorance Franco. Source: Weekly
