Opere del percorso
The hall
A coherent group of sculpture in peperine (a stone from the Albani Hills), broken into fragments which were then reused in a renaissance wall, discovered near the Church of San Lorenzo.
Several of these statues, brought together in the Capitoline collections, represent female figures, Orpheus among the animals, and a barbarian; they are carefully worked, using Hellenistic models of the Pergamon school from the late IIIrd – early IVth centuries BC.
