The Statue's Change of Orientation
"The official version declared that the Hero directs his gaze to the Vatican. After the Lateran Treaty in 1929, the statue was turned around to face the city of Rome. A very popular Roman legend underlines that, in this way the horse now offers its backside to the Holy See." -- Is there a source for the fact that the statue was turned in 1929? The postcard from 1910 seems to show it in the exactly same position as today. The Italian article has the same fact, but also doesn't cite it.
