“The statue’s alternate name, Il Fedele, the faithful boy, comes from the legend of a shepherd boy charged with an important message for the Roman Senate who ran quickly and faithfully and only stopped to pull the painful thorn from his foot after he had completed his errand. In commemoration of his loyalty, the Senate commissioned this statue. It is a story to inspire civic-mindedness, but I prefer Spinario, the shepherd boy, unconnected with politics and politicians, sitting in his pasture.”
