<p>erbaut 1614 im Auftrag von Papst Paul V. durch Carlo Maderno  als Dank für das Ende einer Pestepidemie<br />
<br />
Die ca. 14 m hohe kannelierte Marmorsäule mit korinthischem Kapitell (um 313) stammt aus der Maxentiusbasilika am Forum Romanum und ist die einzige noch erhaltene der ursprünglich acht Cipollinosäulen. <br />
Die Bronzestatue der Madonna stammt von Guillaume Berthélot (1580-1648)<br />
Auf dem Sockel stehen Adler und Drache, die Wappentiere der Papstfamilie Borghese.<br />
Zusammen mit Sockel und Statue hat die Mariensäule eine Höhe von 42 m. Sie wurde in der Folgezeit Vorbild für zahlreiche Mariensäulen, unter anderem in München (1638), Wien (1646), Freising (1674), Konstanz (1683) und Freiburg im Breisgau (1719).</p>
