Pasquino Group, Mythological sculpture in Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy.
The Pasquino Group is a marble sculpture in Piazza della Signoria showing two human figures interacting with one another. The carved details of their bodies and poses reveal the craftsmanship of this ancient work.
The sculpture dates from the third century BC and was brought to Piazza della Signoria during the Renaissance period. This relocation made it a centerpiece of Florence's outdoor art collection.
The pair of figures tells a story from ancient times that people today can still recognize and connect with when they stand before it.
The work stands in Piazza della Signoria and is freely viewable as an outdoor display. You can locate it easily by following the other sculptures around the square, particularly near Palazzo Vecchio.
Experts still debate which two ancient figures are actually shown here because various ancient sources suggest different identities. This mystery lets visitors form their own interpretation when looking at the work.
