Rieti - Statua Di Marco Terenzio Varrone

Rieti is a city of great historical importance and its statues represent very well the different periods and the different roles that the city has had over the centuries, while always maintaining its strong cultural reality. Symbolic works of Rieti are the statue of Marcus Terentius Varro, the statue of the Farmer, and the monument to the bombing of the village (year 1944): the first embodies the historical and cultural importance of the city during the Roman era, the second one the strong identity and the link with its territory in the contemporary era, and the third represents the strong mind and the spirit of the population. The statue of Marcus Terentius Varro is located in Piazza Oberdan, one of the most important squares of the city renovated in recent times. Right in the middle there is the bronze statue made by a local artist depicting Varro, sitting in contemplation, holding some books.
