Obelisk in a park just outside the city gate of Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy. #277829620
Description
Pictured is an obelisk in a park just outside the city gate of Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy. Around the base of the statue are the lions with shields which are the symbol of the Florentine Republic. Montepulciano was reannexed to Florence after sixteen years of Sienese domination in the 16th century under the control of the powerful Medici family. The obelisk is a tribute to that occurrence. The artist is unidentified.
