Story · Obelisk of Montecitorio
You're standing on Piazza Montecitorio, in front of an obelisk of red granite. Take a look up. The stone needle alone is almost twenty-two metres tall. Add the base and the globe on top, and you're at nearly thirty-four metres. And it's a lot older than Rome around it.
