She-wolf capitoline
The Louve of Capitole is a bronze sculpture of the middle of fifth century BC, probably Etruscan, preserved at the palate of the Conservatives (Musée of Capitole) with Rome. The two children are probably an addition of an artist of the Renaissance.
Announced in front of the Palate of Lateran to the 10th century, the She-wolf is used like fountain with. Offered by the pope Sixth IV to the town of Rome in 1471, the statue is placed at Capitole about 1544, then transferred after 1876 to the palate from the Conservatives in Rome.
The sculpture represents the history of Romulus and Rémus: deposited on the the Tiber in a wicker basket, the twins are collected by a she-wolf. Become adult, the two brothers turn over to the place of their abandonment and found there the town of Rome.
A counterpart is offered by the town of Rome in 1962 to the town of Paris, at the time of the twinning of the two capitals. It is in the V {{E}} district of Paris, Paul-Painlevé public garden.
