On my very limited tour of Italy, that was the best piece of sculpture I saw. And I saw a lot of the famous ones.

Sticking with the Pieta, but there is some great 19th Cent stuff. In the Eremitani museum there is a lifesize girl, deshaiblle, sitting and reading a book. Across the gallery is a similar girl with a drawing pad. When you look over her shoulder to the pad, you can see that she is drawing the reader.
