The Monument to Pietro Leopoldo is a marble statue in Livorno, Italy, located in Piazza San Jacopo in Acquaviva. It was sculpted by Domenico Andrea Pelliccia and is a memorial to Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo. The statue depicts him as a Roman commander, wearing the cross of St. Stephen and the Toson d'Oro, denoting him as the Grand Master of the Order. The statue was originally placed in a niche inside the lazzeretto of San Leopoldo in 1776, but was moved and remodeled several times over the years, before being reinstalled in its current location between the church of San Jacopo and the foresteria of the Accademia Navale in 1927.
