Capitoline Wolf

Capitoline Museums

 
DESCRIZIONE:

One of the symbols of Rome whose origins are still a source of controversy today: traditionally it is held to be from the etruscan age, while according to recent scientific studies it is from the Middle Ages. It was donated along with a group of other works by Sixtus IV to the city of Rome in 1471, and it was in those years that the twins were added, probably by Antonio del Pollaiolo.
