The statue of Hygieia, now at the entrance of the “Parterre”, was once part of a fountain designed in 1838 by the architect Pasquale Poccianti, and formerly located at the intersection of Via Garibaldi with Via Galilei.

I think this will be a much more peaceful spot for the goddess VP!
Quite a sculpture, and in a good location.
I like the balance in your composition. Would be fine to live here and look out upon a goddess.
Lovely lines on this statue.
Well executed sculpture, at least from the backside. I'm wondering who or what she's waiting for.
Oh, I like the background on your photograph. Jumps right out.
Nice shot VP!
