Emanuele Filiberto, 10th Duke of Savoia (1528-1580), was a soldier and statesman considered one of the greatest Savoyard monarchs. He won a famous victory in 1557 when he led the Spanish invasion of France at St. Quentin. After the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis in 1559 he was able to regain his duchy and territory from both the French and Spanish, including Turin, which then became the seat of Savoia power. Baron Carlo Marochetti (1805-1867) was an Italian born French sculptor born in Turin. He was a student of Francois-Joseph Bosio and studied in both Paris and Rome. Some of his most famous works include the marble relief of the Battle of Jemappes on the Arc de Triomphe and his equestrian model of Richard the Lionheart, first exhibited at the entrance of the Crystal Palace in 1851 and now found at the Palace of Westminster. The equestrian monument of Emanuele Filiberto, was a gift to the city of Turin and in recognition of this, Marochetti was made a Baron of the Kingdom of Sardinia by Carlo Alberto, King of Sardinia (1798-1849).
