IOnOne LIVE magazine | May 2008 | art | scupture | Capitoline Museums | Statue of Capitoline She-wolf
Capitoline She-wolf 
5th century BC 
Bronze 
cm 75 
Location: Conservators' Apartment > Hall of the She-wolf 
Acquisition date: Formerly at the Lateran. Sixtus IV donation (1471) 
Inventory: inv. MC1181
Ever since the middle of the 16th century, when it was an open three-arched loggia, this room has contained the bronze Capitoline She-wolf, which has become the symbol of Rome.

Embedded in the walls are fragments of Consular and Triumphal Fasti, lists of magistrates and triumphal victors from the time of the republic to the Augustan Age discovered in the Roman Forum and part of an arch dedicated to Augustus.

The pictorial wall decoration, dating back to the first decade of the XVI century and traditionally attributed to Jacopo Ripanda, is rather fragmentary and difficult to decipher.

IOnOne LIVE magazine | May 2008 | art | Capitoline Museums | Finding of the She-wolf
Cavalier d'Arpino (Giuseppe Cesari 1568-1640)
Finding of the She-wolf
1595-1596
Fresco
The fresco decoration of this large room was carried out by Cavalier d'Arpino (Giuseppe Cesari) at the end XVI century and the beginning of the XVII century. 
Originally conceived as tapestries to be hung along the walls, these frescoes portray historical episodes of Ancient Rome, which also inspire the monochrome medallions below. 
Two monumental statues of popes face each other on the two smaller sides of the room: the one portraying Urban VIII is in marble and was carried out by Bernini and his pupils, while the bronze statue of Innocent X is the work of Algardi.
