Image description

Rome, Capitoline Hill: Marphurius or Marforio. It is one of the talking statues of Rome. Marforio maintained a friendly rivalry with his most prominent rival, Pasquin. As at the other five "talking statues", pasquinades irreverent satires poking fun at public figures were posted beside Marforio in the 16th and 17th centuries. Marforio is a large 1st century Roman marble sculpture of a reclining bearded river god or Oceanus, which in the past has been variously identified as a depiction of Jupiter, Neptune, or the Tiber. It was the humanist and antiquarian Andrea Fulvio who first identified it as a river god, in 1527. Roma, Piazza del Campidoglio: il Marforio, scultura marmorea di epoca romana, risalente al I secolo, raffigurante forse il dio Nettuno, Oceano o il Tevere (o il Nera, suo affluente). Fu una delle sei statue parlanti di Roma. Fu rinvenuta nel Foro di Augusto, presso il tempio di Marte Ultore, nell'area poi denominata Foro di Marte, da cui è probabile provenga il nome. Più delle altre cinque statue è il protagonista di numerosi dialoghi a distanza con Pasquino (una sorta di botta e risposta su problemi sociali e politici): le pasquinate, finalizzate a colpire anche pesantemente e sempre in modo anonimo i personaggi pubblici più in vista nella Roma del XVI e XVII secolo.
