Tofanelli: A Journey Through Time and Culture Step into the world of Tofanelli, where history comes alive through a stunning collection of statues. Inspired by the works of Dante Alighieri, the renowned Italian poet, this exhibit takes you on a captivating journey through various civilizations. As you wander through the halls, you'll encounter an unknown philosopher believed to be Zeno of ancient Greece. His profound wisdom is beautifully captured in stone, inviting contemplation and reflection. Next, your eyes will be drawn to a magnificent statue of the Roman goddess Abundantia with her cornucopia overflowing with abundance. It serves as a reminder that prosperity can be found in even the smallest moments. A few steps away stands a powerful figure - Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor - depicted in military armor. This statue exudes strength and leadership while reminding us of Rome's glorious past. Moving forward, you'll come across Vibia Sabina, an empress known for her elegance and grace. Her statue radiates poise and sophistication as she represents femininity at its finest. The Egyptian goddess Isis captures your attention next; she holds a sistrum symbolizing music and dance. Her presence evokes feelings of mysticism and spirituality from ancient times. Further along your path lies a statue depicting Immortality in all its ethereal beauty within the Belvedere Courtyard. Its intricate details convey both fragility and everlasting life simultaneously. Thalia appears next—a muse associated with comedy—holding a mask and trumpet. She reminds us to find joy in laughter during life's trials and tribulations. Roma herself awaits just around the corner—a majestic representation of Rome's eternal spirit embodied by this goddess who watches over her beloved city throughout centuries gone by. Finally, two Egyptian priests stand tall—one adorned with an elaborate headdress while another cradles a cock's head—an intriguing glimpse into their mysterious rituals that have fascinated historians for ages.
