In the garden of Villa Medici stands a bronze statue of the god Mercury. "Mercury", the messenger of the Gods, holds in his left hand a caduceus, a winged staff entwined by two snakes. According to one myth, Mercury saw two snakes joined in mortal combat. Separating them with his staff, he brought about peace, and as a result the caduceus came to be seen as a sign of peace. The god raises one arm to point heavenwards in a gesture borrowed from there pertory of classical rhetoric that is characteristic of Giambologna's style.
