Capitoline Wolf sculpture in Pisa: photos, reviews

About

Myths speak of Romulus and Remus, who founded Rome and were nurtured by the very Capitoline She-wolf, which today stands frozen in bronze. Perhaps all of this is merely fiction, but the residents of Pisa firmly believe that it was with this silent sculpture that the history of the Eternal City began.

The monument is life-sized, standing exactly 75 centimeters tall. It is located between the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and the cathedral of the same name, which is also the Cathedral. The she-wolf stands on a rectangular slab, which in turn is placed on a tall marble column. In this way, the architects wanted to demonstrate the grandeur of Rome, which has not dimmed over the years.

A quiet but powerful symbol of Roman heritage.

Una llamativa réplica de bronce de la legendaria loba lactando a Rómulo y Remo, que simboliza la fundación de Roma. Situada en la extensión verde de la Piazza dei Miracoli, cerca de la Torre Inclinada, esta estatua a menudo es pasada por alto por los turistas. Una parada breve pero significativa para aquellos interesados en la historia romana.

A striking bronze replica of the legendary she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, symbolizing the founding of Rome. Situated in the green expanse of Piazza dei Miracoli, near the Leaning Tower, this statue is often overlooked by tourists. Its presence adds a touch of ancient myth to the square’s architectural wonders. A brief but meaningful stop for those interested in Roman history.
