Made to live with
In Roman homes, images of the Muses were often placed in libraries and studies, alongside portraits of poets and philosophers. Thalia brings that classical tradition into a contemporary interior.
The Grand Tour, reimagined.
Classical sculpture returns to the interior as a living presence: selected in Italy, made in enduring materials, and conceived for contemporary collections.
Classical forms. Symbols for today.
In the ancient world, sculpture expressed values: Venus meant beauty, Hercules courage, Perseus intelligence, and the Muses knowledge.

Curiosità storiche
Nella mitologia greca, Talia era una delle nove Muse ed era particolarmente venerata per la sua influenza sulla commedia e sulla poesia bucolica.
Rappresentava l’ispirazione legata alle arti letterarie e teatrali, aiutando artisti, poeti, attori e intellettuali ad alimentare la loro immaginazione. Secondo la tradizione, le Muse erano figlie di Zeus e Mnemosine e incarnavano l’ispirazione divina per artisti e poeti.
Talia è spesso raffigurata con una maschera comica, simbolo del teatro leggero, della commedia e dell’intrattenimento.
Manutenzione
Il marmo richiede una cura delicata. Si consiglia di pulire la scultura con un panno morbido e asciutto, evitando l’uso di prodotti chimici o detergenti aggressivi. Per preservarne lo splendore, evitare l’esposizione prolungata alla luce diretta del sole.
