Angel Chariot by

This wonderful sculpture is located inside the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II) or Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) or “Il Vittoriano”, in Rome, Italy to honour Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.
My shot was almost ruined by the low light but I was able to resurrect most of the features in PS. Hope you like it as this sculpture is most impressive!
