Equestrian statue of Umberto I, Bronze equestrian monument in Villa Borghese Gardens, Rome, Italy
The statue presents King Umberto I in military attire mounted on a horse, with allegorical figures decorating the base of the structure.
Sculptor Davide Calandra created this monument in 1905 to honor King Umberto I, who ruled Italy from 1878 until his assassination in 1900.
The monument represents a period of Italian monarchy through neoclassical design elements that emphasize the connection between leadership and military strength.
The statue stands in a central location of Villa Borghese Gardens, near several walking paths and recreational areas frequently used by visitors.
The bronze sculpture incorporates detailed metalwork techniques that capture the dynamic movement of both the horse and the royal military uniform.
