Angels are never too distant to hear you
This angel carries a column that represents the pillar to which Christ was chained while being whipped. You can also see the inscription: “My throne is upon a column.”

The Ponte Sant'Angelo is an ancient Roman bridge made up of five stone arches with five main spans of around 18 meters each, all supported by seven-meter-high piers. Built by Roman Emperor Hadrian, the bridge was originally called Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius.
Pope Clement VII erected statues of Saints Peter and Paul, in the 16th century at the ends of the bridge. The parapets were adorned with ten more angel statues created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1688. In today's world, these statues are extremely valuable and noteworthy.
Pope Clement VII erected a toll on Ponte Sant'Angelo in the 16th century and used the proceeds to erect statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. The bridge was embellished in 1688 with ten angel statues, five on either side of the bridge, all sculpted by Lorenzo Bernini. Each angel carries an emblem of Jesus' death and suffering.
