Piazza della Repubblica, Rome

On it is to be found Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri.

[2] The porticos around the piazza, built in 1887–98 by Gaetano Koch, were in memory of the ancient buildings on the same sites, while the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri on the piazza is based on a wing of the baths (with its architect Michelangelo, using the tepidarium as one of the wings of its spacious Greek cross plan).

Completed in 1888, it originally showed four plaster lions designed by Alessandro Guerrieri.

In the centre is Rutelli's Glauco group (1911/12), symbolizing the dominion of the man over natural force and replacing a previous sculpture.
