The Terracotta Army, also known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, unearthed from the tomb of Emperor Qinshihuang, is now on display in the 16th century Basilica dello Spirito Santo (Basilica of the Holy Spirit) in Naples, Italy. 

The exhibition, covering 170 original pieces from China's Xi'an city, will run through January 28 next year. Qinshihuang, China's first emperor, lived between 259 BC and 210 BC.
