1929 last work by Ettore Ferrari (1845/1929) who was Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, the Italian Freemasonry
Placed here only in 1949 for the centenary of the Roman Republic, after some allegorical high reliefs irreverent towards the Holy See were removed from the base, like a prancing horse trampling over emblems of the church
In the BASE there are high reliefs representing the ideas of Mazzini: the desire for freedom that is realized in the Giovane Italia (Young Italy Association), the sacrifice for the redemption of the oppressed from tyranny, the fight against tyranny, the triumph of the revolution, the burial of the remains of the martyrs
