The timely flight of a pigeon adds an extra layer of interest to this Paduan tableaux by creating a visual triangle between statue, bird and church. 

 The horseman statue was sculpted by Renaissance artist Donatello...
 the namesake of the famous teenage mutant ninja turtle.

    We missed this city, didn't have the time to visit. Thanks for sharing the picture, it makes it clear that we should have stopped by!
    God bless you!

    What a great picture. The pigeon really gives a special touch a picture would have been stunning without it :)
