The Lancellotti Discus: Palazzo Massimo
At Palazzo Massimo in Rome, one must stop in front of the Lancellotti Disk, a 2nd century Roman marble copy of the famous sculpture by Myron, said to be the most faithful.
The statue has a compelling story: discovered on the Esquiline Hill during excavations in 1871, Adolf Hitler himself persuaded Prince Lancellotti to sell it to him. Thanks to the relentless diplomatic work of Rodolfo Siviero, one of the saviours of Italian art in the wartime context, the stuatue was brought back to to Italy after the war. An icon of the classical idea of beauty, the news of its possible move to Palazzo Altemps provoked a popular demonstration in defence of its location.
