The Genius of Descent, by Carlo Fontana, located on the south side of Piazza Garibaldi. Wrongly known as the Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, Fontana's monument, designed in 1907 and completed in 1914, is actually intended to symbolize the future of the Italian people with the protection of Garibaldi, a key figure and one of the most important figures of the Risorgimento and the unification of Italy. The statue, which depicts a giant with a shield bearing the profile of the Man of the Two Worlds, was carved from a single block of white Carrara marble which, after construction in the quarries, was transported to Sarzana with a large number of oxen and was placed on the base with special equipment.
