★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La statua si trova affianco al “Volto del Cavallo”, sulla destra p. Venne voluta dal figlio di Niccolò III P, Leonello che volle esaltare in maniera degna il padre. La costruzione venne affidata a manodopera Fiorentina ed innalzata nel 1451 su una base ispirata agli archi di trionfo romani. Nel 1796 la statua, unitamente a quella di Borso d’Este, venne ridotta a pezzi per rubarne il bronzo. Fu solo nel 1927 grazie ad uno scultore piacentino, attraverso i disegni, ricostruì la statua quattrocentesca.
The statue is next to the "Face of the Horse", on the right p. It was commissioned by the son of Niccolò III P, Leonello who wanted to exalt his father in a dignified manner. The construction was entrusted to Florentine labor and raised in 1451 on a base inspired by the Roman triumphal arches. In 1796 the statue, together with that of Borso d’Este, was reduced to pieces to steal the bronze. It was only in 1927, thanks to a sculptor from Piacenza, that he rebuilt the fifteenth-century statue through the drawings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La statua in bronzo raffigurante Nicolò III a cavallo, è affiancata da quella di Borso D'Este seduto.
Quelle che si ammirano oggi, sono però delle copie, poiché le originali e le successive copie vennero fuse per fare palle da cannone.
Sorgono sopra al "vòlto del cavallo" che dà accesso a piazzetta municipale.
The bronze statue depicting Nicolò III on horseback is flanked by that of Borso D'Este seated.
Those that can be admired today, however, are copies, since the originals and subsequent copies were merged to make cannonballs.
They rise above the "vòlto del cavallo" which gives access to the municipal square.
