Monument of the Four Moors, Bronze monument in Livorno, Italy.
The monument features a central marble statue of Grand Duke Ferdinand I, surrounded by four bronze figures of captured pirates at its base.
Pietro Tacca completed the monument in 1626, adding four bronze Moor figures to the existing marble statue created by Giovanni Bandini in 1595.
The monument represents the victory of the Order of Saint Stephen over pirates who threatened the Tuscan coast during the Mediterranean maritime conflicts.
Located in Piazza Micheli near the port, visitors can spot a white brick on the ground marking the position to view all four bronze figures.
The bronze statues were modeled after real Saracen pirates captured in Livorno, with precise anatomical details showing their physical strain.
