Angel with the Lance The bridge was built in about 133 to link the mausoleum of Hadrian to the left bank of the Tiber, but very little remains of the original structure. The Pope Clemens VII Medici in 1534 put the statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul on the side opposite Castel Sant’Angelo. In the 17th century the structure became one of the best examples of the Roman baroque with the collocation of statues of angels and symbols of the Passion, designed by Bernini.

ELEPHANT AND OBELISK (detail)
Again I find Bernini's art breathtaking. The amazing detail on such a small piece of work shows you how amazing he was as an artist. In some ways the elephant even has his own facial expressions.

Giordano Bruno (Campo de' Fiori) He is best known for his cosmological theories. While supporting heliocentrism, Bruno also correctly proposed that the Sun was just another star moving in space, and claimed as well that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings
