The third monument is that of Casimiro Teja (1830-1897), a cartoonist with the pseudonym of Puff for the satirical magazine of liberal and anticlerical ideas "Il Fischietto". Afterwards he directed the "Pasquino", which took its name from the "talking statue of Rome", on which, from the 1600s, sheets containing satire in verses were anonymously hung, to hit the powerful: the pasquinades. It came from him the phrase "Piove Governo Ladro!" (It Rains, Government thief!), Published in 1861, which refers to a demonstration of Mazzini blowned because of the rain.
