San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains) was built during the fifth century to house the relic of Saint Peter’s chains when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem.

^ right! :up: Well this was the location, but the statue depicts Moses. With horns!
It's over to you, but why those horns?

edit: ok i see there are different theories.. what was told to us is that the translation from hebrew to latin ws initially corrcet, from hebrew crowned to "coronata", but the later scribers made an error changing it to "cornata" leaving out an o, so cornata is "horned".
