Europe Italy Piedmont Turin Piazza S.Carlo Equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia The bronze horse Piazza S. Carlo is certainly the most beautiful square of Turin. Preserve the look of the seventeenth century by the architect Carlo Castellamonte and is literally dominated by the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto, nineteenth-century work of Carlo Marocchetti. The monument is called "Caval 'd Brons". Emanuele Filiberto (1528 - 1580), Duke of Savoy, is represented as sheathe the sword, after the victorious Battle of San Quentin (1557). The gesture is proud, determined, leaves no room for uncertainty. Formally pure. The consciousness of victory permeates the whole body. The bust recedes back, with force and measure the right arm calibrates a movement of extraordinary elegance to allow the sword to get the right height, and at the same time the duke with his left arm held at bay the horse, but with no effort no. The statue is a masterpiece. And is rightly considered the best Italian equestrian statue of the nineteenth century. The work was inaugurated on November 4, 1838
