Il Muletto di Villa Borghese

Piazza di Siena, Rome, Italy

 

This original monument by sculptor Pietro Canonica was donated to the city council in 1940. The sculpture portrays 'Scodela', the famous mule awarded with a medal for his bravery, determination and resistance when transporting a small cannon around the battlefields of WWI. Canonica portrayed the mule with the beret of the 'Alpinisti' on his back in remembrance of the soldier who had formed a strong bond with the animal. He was killed in battle. The sculpture is located outside the Museo Canonica, the artist's house and studio, in the Villa Borghese.
