The eight sculptures from the neoclassical period, copies of Roman statues depicting mythological subjects on high bases, are almost all works by the Genoese sculptor Tommaso Soleri and come from royal palace di Caserta. Initially placed inside the Villa, were placed here as part of the works to renovate the entrance decided in 1870 by Ferdinando IV di Bourbon about project Carlo Vanvitelli.
