Processing tecnique

The sculptor started with the creation of a plaster model, faithful to the reproductions of the busts of Cicerone conserved in the various museums. Subsequently, the most valuable marbles were selected to create the work. The three blocks of marble have been entirely handcrafted using the three-compass technique and using specific chisels and tools.
