The Pasquino Group (also known as Menelaus Carrying the Body of Patroclus or Ajax Carrying the Body of Achilles) is a group of marble sculptures that copy a Hellenistic bronze original, dating to ca. 200–150 BCE. At least fifteen Roman marble copies of this sculpture are known. Many of these marble copies have complex artistic and social histories that illustrate the degree to which improvisatory "restorations" were made to fragments of ancient Roman sculpture during the 16th and 17th centuries, in which contemporary Italian sculptors made original and often arbitrary and destructive additions in an effort to replace lost fragments of the ancient sculptures.
One of the most famous versions of the composition, though so dismembered and battered that the relationship is scarcely recognizable at first glance, is the so-called Pasquin, one of the talking statues of Rome. It was set up on a pedestal in 1501 and remains unrestored. A version of the group, probably intended to represent other Homeric figures, is part of the Sperlonga sculptures found in 1957.
Great place to visit. Take your time and enjoy those elegant sculptures. And it's free.

A few statues here and there. Lots of birds around and people sitting around eating sandwich

This is free and the statues are excellent, it's worth reading the sign inside to understand what each one is and you can then read the story behind it after

So Much art within a square block, When we were there, there was an orchestra playing music we examined the sites.

A very interesting collection of sculptures, as well as a replica of the Michelangelo David statue

Great place to just sit down and soak up the history in the shade. It was fun watching the attendant pick up on any slight infringement of his rules, for example you can sit down on any of the three steps but not put your foot on the same one as your seat. It is an ancient open museum so deserving of respectful behaviour. So you probably won't get away with eating your lunch here.

To walk around the city of Florence means encountering works of art. One can just wonder on the monuments and sculptures. This place shows the glory as well as pain & emotions. Rape of ladies of the whole town by the soldiers is shown in Sculpture. The Legend of Hercules feels alive when you watch it sitting here. Sit, eat and enjoy.

We are very lucky. It is for me and my wife to have fantastic experience to watch and listen live classic music. Thank you for the beautiful, historical places around here and great music from orchestre Giovanili.
