Staging for the return of Winged Victory to Brescia has begun!
The Botticino Classico® Producers Consortium announces the delivery of the new Botticino Classico® marble plinth on which the prized bronze sculpture, one of the most extraordinary statues from the Roman era and a symbol of the city of Brescia, will be relocated at the Capitolium.
The appointment was expected this spring, after the two-year restoration by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence. Due to the health emergency everything was skipped postponing the work by a few months, becoming also for the city a tangible sign of rebirth and an omen for recovery.
The marble on which the statue rests was donated by the Botticino Classico® quarries. Grown east of Brescia, with their economic, historical, cultural and social value, they represent a heritage of the entire community.
