Well, in St Peter's Basilica, to be precise—but close enough.
I've already written about this on my other website, but, on reflection, it really belongs here. For a brief moment on my visit to St Peter's Basilica the other week, I was amazed to see a sculpture on none other than Charles Darwin, supported by a brace of cherubs.
On closer inspection, it turned out to be former pope and current saint Dionysius (???—268):
Uncanny is what I call it.
