Abbot Luigi, Marble sculpture in Piazza Vidoni, Rome, Italy
The marble statue represents a standing man wearing a toga, with his right arm bent and hand resting on his chest, positioned next to Sant'Andrea della Valle church.
Originally discovered during excavations of Palazzo Vidoni-Caffarelli foundations, the statue dates from the late Imperial Roman period and underwent several relocations before settling in 1924.
The statue belongs to Rome's talking statues group, where citizens posted anonymous satirical messages criticizing public figures and social matters throughout history.
Visitors can find the marble figure at coordinates 41.8959678, 12.4746326, near the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Via del Sudario.
The statue earned its name from a resemblance to a sacristan from the nearby Santissimo Sudario church and features an inscription about its satirical legacy with Marforio and Pasquino.
