The Statue of Giordano Bruno, created by Ettore Ferrari, was erected at Campo de’ Fiori.
The sculptor, Ettore Ferrari, would later become the Grand master of the Grande Oriente d’Italia, the Masonic jurisdiction of Italy, who were strong supporters of the unification of Italy over the previous Papal rule of Rome. His other sculptures include a monument in Rovigo, Italy, to Giuseppe Garibaldi, who fought for Italian independence and defended French democracy against Prussian imperialism during the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-1871.
