As you walk along the 354 feet of the Ponte Vittorio, you will encounter four allegorical sculptures. They were carved from travertine marble in 1911. They symbolize Oppression Conquered, Loyalty to the State, Freedom and the Unification of Italy. The bridge was designed by Ennio De Rossi and opened on the 50th anniversary of Italy’s unification. In the background is the Mausoleum of Hadrian named Castel Sant’Angelo.
