Nicchione and Pigna, Cortile della Pigna. The nicchione (apse) was added in 1560 by Pirro Ligorio to the courtyard designed by Bramante. The colossal Pigna (pine cone mentioned in Dante's Inferno) is ancient Roman and was probably the central piece of a fountain of the temple of Isis. It rests on a capital witha bas-reliefs decoration depicting a victorious athlete. The bronze two peacocks belonged to the Mausoleum of Hadrian.
