THOUSANDS ANCIENT SCULPTURES

Pope Pius VII (born Barnaba Chiaramonti), who established the Vatican Museums, is honored by having his museum, the Chiaramonti Museum, bear his name. There are about a thousand sculptures there, including busts of Roman generals, statues, and replicas of gods and emperors. Antonio Canova, a sculptor, founded it in 1807. Famous Roman statues can be found at the Braccio Nuovo, the building's newest section, which opened in 1822. The statue of Augustus discovered at Prima Porta, two magnificent bronze peacocks, a Roman replica of the Doriforo, and the statue of the Nile, which shows the vast Egyptian river and its tributaries, are some of the prominent pieces in the Chiaramonti Museum. #passionpassport #art #ancientsculptures #rome #italy #cityoverlook #europetravel
