    The Lupa Capitolina, also known as Luperca in Latin, is a bronze sculpture depicting a scene from the legend of the founding of Rome. The sculpture shows a she-wolf suckling the mythical twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus.

    The original statue of the Capitoline Wolf, one of Rome's most famous symbols, is located in the Capitoline Museums in Rome.


    In detail:

    Museum: It is located inside the Capitoline Museums, considered the oldest public museum in the world, located in Piazza del Campidoglio.

    Specific location: The sculpture is displayed in the Palazzo dei Conservatori, in a room specifically called the Hall of the Wolf.

    The bronze statue, depicting the she-wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus (who were added later, during the Renaissance), is a powerful symbol of the origins and founding of Rome.
