Monument to Anita Garibaldi, Bronze memorial statue on Janiculum hill, Rome, Italy
The equestrian statue depicts Anita Garibaldi riding a horse while holding a gun and carrying a child in her arms on a bronze pedestal.
The monument, completed in 1932 by sculptor Mario Rutelli, marks the final resting place of Anita Garibaldi, who died during the 1849 defense of Rome.
The bronze panels at the base illustrate scenes from Anita's life, including her military actions in South America and search for Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Visitors can reach the monument through the walking paths of Janiculum Park, which offers panoramic views of Rome from its elevated position.
The statue's original design was reduced by one-third to save bronze, causing displeasure to sculptor Rutelli who used his daughter-in-law as the model.
