"talking" statue Madama Lucrezia

Madama Lucrezia (Romanesco: Madama Lugrezzia) is one of the six "talking statues" of Rome. Pasquinades — irreverent satires poking fun at public figures — were posted beside each of the statues from the 16th century onwards, written as if spoken by the statue, largely in answer to the verses posted at the sculpture called "Pasquino". Madama Lucrezia was the only female "talking statue", and was the subject of competing verses by Pasquino and Marforio.
