American soldier Private Sisto Ganz, of the 3rd Division, US 5th Army, sits in the lap of a statue in the courtyard of the Palazzo di Giustizia(aka the Palazzaccio, or Hall of Justice) shortly after the liberation of Rome, June 1944.
The text around the base reads, in part, 'Q. Ortensio,' possibly a reference to Roman lawyer and orator Quinto Ortensio Ortalo (114 bc - 50 bc).
