26, A New Statue in an Old Piazza: Angels Unawares Mini Pod

from Get Ready for Rome · host Wayne Ambler

Pope Francis recently inaugurated a new statue in Piazza San Pietro, the first new statue there in four centuries. Called Angels Unawares, it calls attention to the plight of refugees and migrants and summons us to the virtue of charity. What, I wonder, is its relation to the piazza in which it has been placed? Does it duplicate the aesthetic judgment of Bernini's baroque piazza? Does it summon us to a similar understanding of Christian virtue? Does it advance a political agenda?
