What people say
ANDREA MATTINA
"Noto come il Pulcino della Minerva, l’obelisco nella piazza omonima è il più piccolo di tutta la città.
Rivisitato in forme barocche da Bernini che prese a modello il pachiderma offerto in dono all’Urbe dalla regina Cristina di Svezia. L’elefantino rappresenta simbolicamente la forza della mente necessaria a sostenere una solida sapienza, come recita l’iscrizione sul basamento.

"A quirky little statue by Bernini that's easy to miss, but one of my faves."
