La statua di Pasquino

Built in the 3^rd century BC and unearthed in the 15^th century, this «talking statue» is a symbol of protest. Since the 16^th century, people posted pamphlets and letters onto Pasquino to speak against the government. Until recently, letters and signs were posted on the statue; now there’s a bulletin at the foot of Pasquino. Right next to Piazza Navona and at the beginning of Via Del Governo Vecchio, a street with lots of shopping and great food (lots of restaurants I consider my favorites)! Give Pasquino a visit and continue your detour down the «via!»
