An extraordinary collection of ancient Roman bronze votive statuettes discovered at a Tuscan spa town last year was inaugurated in a show at the Quirinale presidential palace in Rome.
The statuettes were found at San Casciano dei Bagni and have revealed hitherto unknown links between the Etruscan and Roman worlds.
Among the highlights of the show are a sick ephebe, a dancing Apollo, a proud toga-garbed Haranguer, a tender putto holding an apple in his hand, big-bosomed matrons, and a slew of hands, feet, arms and ears offered as votive offerings to heal maladies.
Petrucci srl created all the exhibition structures, the decorated and backlit glass coverings, the new lighting systems for the rooms and all the supports for the archaeological finds.
