Ferdinand I

Ferdinand I (1751-1825), who, somewhat amazingly, was also known as Ferdinand III and Ferdinand the IV (history does get complex sometimes) had this bronze equestrian statue made. I tried to make him as heroic as I could. He charges into space in the Piazza Plebiscito in Naples. What or who he’s after I can only guess. I think he must be chasing the pigeons who like to sit on his head.
