Located at the center of the University City of Sapienza, framed by the prospective axis of the propylaea, the Athena of Arturo Martini represents the focus of the vast building complex. Martini had a reference model, namely an Athena promachos, allegedly inspired by the bronze statue attributed to Phidia. However, compared to the initial sketches of the architect Marcello Piacentini, responsible for the architectural and decorative design of Sapienza, the gure is transformed into a complete- ly di erent image, with the arms raised and open.
