Symbolism + My Chemical Romance : The Statue

Located: Bologna, Italy. Magnani Chapel. Certosa di Bologna. It’s located in a much larger former monastery and later it became the city’s primary graveyard.

Artist: Pasquale Rizzoli

Depiction: The soul of a recently departed woman is being carried to heaven by an angel. Her soul is being held by the angel in an almost effortless way. The statue has a lot of heavy symbolism within itself associated with death and heaven

Possible relationship to My Chemical Romance: Themes associated with rebirth and arising anew. The statue could be a possible reference to the old My Chemical Romance and previous albums supporting the new My Chemical Romance of the present helping them rise once again to a place of peace and wellbeing.
