Obelisk in Rome by Andrea Mazzocchetti

The charm of Rome is also hidden behind the Egyptian history. Here we have a combination of classical and Egyptian art, in Piazza del Popolo. The Flaminio Obelisk (Italian: Obelisco Flaminio) is one of the thirteen ancient obelisks in Rome, Italy. It was built during the kingdom of Pharaohs Ramesses II and Merneptah (13th century BC) and placed in the Temple of Sun in Heliopolis; it was brought to Rome in 10 BC by command of Augustus, together with the Obelisk of Montecitorio, and placed on the spina of the Circus Maximus, followed three centuries later by the Lateran Obelisk. It was placed in its current location by order of Pope Sixtus V, in 1589
