The Pantheon is closely linked to politics. After 1948 there were 55 busts and statues in the Pantheon. In January 1951 the number dropped to 40, in 1978 it rose to 48 and in 1998 it stabilized at 47. If we wanted to display them all, we would reach 63, which would exceed the capacity of the space.
