1900 Raffaello Romanelli (1856/1928)
In the BRONZE BAS-RELIEFS of the base "Drafting of the Statute" and "Battle of 1848" fought at Goito during which the Piedmont Sardinia army led by Carlo Alberto defeated the Austrians
The monument is at the center of the GIARDINO DEL QUIRINALE (Quirinal Hill Garden) created in 1888 in front of the Quirinal Palace Manica Lunga (Long Wing) following the demolition of the churches of St. Clare and St. Mary Magdalene with their monasteries to give a better view to the Kaiser Wilhelm II who was a guest in the palace
Therefore the garden was called by the ever scathing Roman people "Garden of the Kaiser", which in Rome is a pun with a highly derogative sexual meaning
