Does anyone have a photo of the Famous Madonna referred to in the article below? I've searched online and can't find it? Has anyone seen this cat statue the article mentions? Is Piazza della Grazioli easy to get to via public transportation in Rome? I'd love to see both of these.

Here is a picture of the cat statue from google street view. Yes it is easy to get to with public transportation as it is in the central historic district of the city. If you were at the terminus of the No 8 Tram line by Piazza Venezia, walk back to the next street, Via degli Astalli and walk north, across Via del Plebiscito, and continue the short way to the Piazza Grazioli.
It is on the back side of the headquarters of FITD, which is the Italian equivalent of the US's FDIC.
I believe this is the madonnella you're asking about (4th photo in this article):
"...corner of Via della Gatta and Piazza del Collegio Romano, on the Palazzo Doria-Pamphili."
This is just up the street (north) of Piazza Grazioli.
Wow! Thanks, Kathy! Sooo adorable. And thanks, Sam. I hadn't noticed that article I posted had a slide show in it.
And thanks, Sam, for the awesome decorations.
