Pasquino Group, Mythological sculpture in Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy.
The Pasquino Group depicts two figures carved in marble, displaying detailed craftsmanship that represents an ancient Greek mythological scene in the heart of Florence.
The sculpture dates from the third century BC and was relocated to its present location in Piazza della Signoria during the Renaissance period.
The statue became a symbol of public expression as citizens started attaching written messages of political and social commentary to its base.
Visitors can find the Pasquino Group among other sculptures in Piazza della Signoria, near the entrance of Palazzo Vecchio.
Historians continue to debate the identities of the figures in the sculpture, with suggestions ranging from Menelaus with Patroclus to Ajax with Achilles.
