This “Winged Victory”, by the sculptor Mario Carlesi, stands on the top of the monument to the soldiers fallen in World War I. The memorial was erected in 1925 in Piazza Magenta, which was then renamed Piazza della Vittoria (Victory Square). In background we can see the facade of the church of Santa Maria del Soccorso.

Cholera, war---this church has seen it all.
The statue stands out magnificently.
Wow, that is a wonderful shot.
It is a beautiful statue and a wonderful photograph. We should all agree to post winged victory statues on the same day.
I'm curious how you got high enough to get that angle of her.
The angel is elegant. War is not. An interesting and jarring contrast.
Beautiful.
Victory seems not to be very happy, beautifully composed photo, VP !
Dina - Powerful zoom lens from far away, but still at street level.
This one is beautiful VP!
Quite impressive against the church's facade. We have a photograph of the Winged Victory hanging in the Louvre. One of our favorites.
Enjoying your photo and post today. A sentry for sure. Guarding time.
Beautiful monument, church and photograph!
Wow -- to your camera and skill.
