Josie Lyon Statue and Grave

The Italian revolutionary's legendary wife is portrayed on horseback waving a gun and holding her child in this memorial on the Janiculum.

Flowers have mysteriously appeared on her effigy every day for the last 150 years.

This massive marble memorial was built bit by bit either out of devotion or spite, but at the expense of the surrounding town.

Seeing her husband shot, she took up his banner and rallied the troops to attack repulsing the enemy with the cry, "Those with honor, follow me!"

It memorializes America’s initial military response to the terrorist attacks on our country on September 11, 2001.

A hauntingly beautiful grave commemorates love evermore.

A cynical face-off exposing the cost of war.

A statue of the forgotten American who helped transform Hokkaido and Japan.
