Sestiga della Pace, Bronze sculpture at Arco della Pace, Milan, Italy
The Sestiga della Pace features six horses pulling a chariot with a 4.22-meter-tall statue of the Peace Goddess on top of the arch.
The bronze sculpture was installed on September 15, 1837, marking the final phase of construction for the Arch of Peace in Milan.
