The fresco pictured above adorns the walls of the Hall of the Horatii and Curiatii (Musei Capitolini, Rome), where the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention was open to signature on June 24, 1995. The fresco decoration of this large room was carried out by Cavalier d’Arpino (Giuseppe Cesari) at the end XVI century and the beginning of the XVII century. Two monumental statues of popes face each other on the two smaller sides of the room: the one portraying Urban VIII is in marble and was carried out by Bernini and his pupils, while the bronze statue of Innocent X is the work of Algardi. |
