Information about Rome (Capital city of Italy) :
In the center of the piazza stands the famous equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, brought here from the Lateran Palace. The gilded bronze was one of a handful of ancient bronzes to escape medieval meltdown, and then only because it was thought to be a portrait of Constantine, the first Christian emperor. Unfortunately, both man and steed succumbed to the assault of modern pollution and were removed for restoration in 1981, leaving behind only their pedestal. The emperor now resides in climate-controlled comfort in the courtyard of the Palazzo Nuovo, and the statue you see now is a weatherproof copy. Across the way, in the courtyard of the Palazzo dei Conservatori, lie the gargantuan foot, head, arm, and kneecap of the statue of Constantine that once graced the Basilica of Maxentius.
On the open side of the piazza, rejoin La Cordonata to make the descent to P. Venezia. The staircase was designed so that Charles V, apparently penitent over his sack of the city a decade before, could ride his horse up the hill to meet Paul III during his triumphal visit. On the right-hand side of La Cordonata stands a dark statue of a hooded man, Cola di Rienzo, the leader of a popular revolt in 1347 that attempted to reestablish a Roman Republic. The statuem marks the spot where the disgruntled populace tore him limb from limb shortly after electing him first consul.
