About the Item
Virtue by Virtue
Thorn for thorn
Making a comparison between a plant (the pomegranate) and a character (Livia Drusilla) is a rather daring and perhaps a little bizarre idea, however, in my opinion it is not without significance.
Size: cm. 131x178h
inches 25,58" x 70"
In fact, if we approach Livia Drusilla, wife of Emperor Octavianus Augustus, to whom exceptional public and private virtues are recognized, to the fruit of the pomegranate, "chest" of healthy and beneficial virtues. The comparison between them is immediate and makes us understand the qualities that the Latins gave them: salus, iustitia, pietas, fortuna. Like the pomegranate plant that has good fruit, but it is not without thorns, so Livia's behavior does not seem to be entirely worthwhile, since there are serious suspicions about the death of young relatives of her husband Octavian. They could have impeded the ascent to the power of her two sons (Tiberius and Drusus) from their previous marriage with Tiberius Claudius Nero.
With my work I wanted to commemorate the two millenniums from the death of Augustus, dated back to August 2014, when the Palatine museum was reopened and the archaeological route of the house of Augustus and of the house of Livia was extended. The image of Livia Drusilla in the act of picking a fruit from the pomegranate plant, was suggested to me by the extraordinary frescoes of the Villa Livia that represent a large garden with pomegranate plants.
The observation of these frescoes also led me to think that the same Livia Drusilla would have had the desire to be represented next to this plant with "virtuous" fruits , but maybe it's just my IDEA.

CUPIOLI Luxury Living
The Cupioli brothers together with their children Luca and Sonia present the new line of scagliola (moonstone) in the contemporary and modern version. After fifty years of experience in the art of inlay in classical scagliola, we have managed to combine this ancient art with a much more modern line, proposed on tables, consoles, panels, bar cabinet and much more. The scagliola of Cupioli meets and marries contemporary design, proposing works with more abstract features and in line with the taste of our days, the inlays become so more and more rich in nuances and suggestions. The continuous research in the laboratories of the Cupioli family has also made it possible to obtain truly precious and unique textures and finishes with craftsmanship and expertise. An example is the new product called "eco galuchat" made with scagliola, and consists in the reproduction of the race skin to cover furniture and furnishings, in the wake of a French tradition that originated in the early 1900s , in the deco period. With this technique it is possible to obtain the same effect as the most precious hides, thanks to a meticulous study and a refined methodology, in full respect of nature, without use skins of real animals but only natural products, in line with an increasingly widespread sensitivity. Purchasing a Cupioli product means having at home the true Italian craftsmanship that year after year becomes more and more beautiful and lived, acquiring more and more value over time.

"Preposition with which the Heraclitis express the eternal becoming of reality, comparing the latter to a river that only apparently remains one and identical, but which in fact continually renews itself and transforms itself, so that it is not given to dive into it more than once, because the second time strictly speaking it is not the same river as the first one. This conception constitutes the antithesis of that of the absolute eternal unity and immutability of being.
