The recently restored gate of the Parterre, now Sandro Pertini park. The pillar in background is what is left of a monumental fountain once placed at the corner of Via Garibaldi with Via Galilei. The statue on the top represents Hygieia, the goddess of health. On the body of the column we can find other symbols.

Thank you VP, this one very nice.
It is a beautiful gate. I love the color!
The gate is simple and elegant with a color to match his outstanding image.
Beautiful entrance.
The gate's colour certainly draws my attention.
The gate looks very nice. Does it slide to the side to open?
I remember learning about all those interesting symbols in your earlier post.
A beautiful and well protected park.
Does the public have access to this park? Gate locked?
Birdman - Yes, when I took this picture it was late afternoon and the park was closed.
Bello questo Parterre! Ciao, Arianna
Beautiful gate and composition too!
