HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
This monument shows how Annibale Monti's sculptural practice still pursued, around the 1930s, a realistic and veristic rendering, entirely in line with the tradition of the Monti family, already active in the practice of devotional and commemorative sculpture in the Piacenza area starting from the third quarter of the 19th century. The precise desire to recreate, however, a lifelike portrait leads the sculptor to often fall into the coldest academicism
