專家說明


The original Pulcino della Minerva is situated at the Piazza Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome and was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1666-1667. The elephant supports, one of the eleven Egyptian obelisks in Rome, is said to be one of two obelisks moved from Sais, where they were erected during the twenty-sixth dynasty (589 BC-570 BC).
