Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Apollo and Daphne, marble sculpture by Lorenzo Bernini, 1622ā25; in the Borghese Gallery, Rome.
While it is often noted that Gian Lorenzo Bernini designed the ten angels for the Ponte SantāAngelo, the specific angels carved by Bernini himself were never placed on the bridge.1
Because Pope Clement IX prized these particular sculptures so highly, they were preserved and are currently displayed in the church of SantāAndrea delle Fratte in Rome.1
