Mussolini, my historical father

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The work can be considered a portrait of excellent craftsmanship. The sculpture's volume adds to the physiognomic verisimilitude of the subject's body by adding a highly plastic quality to the sculpture. Thus, the resulting work has almost hyperrealistic connotations. The almost total monochrome of the bas-relief does not detract from this strong realistic impact. In fact, on a coloristic level, the work is made up for by the play of shadows created by the accentuated plastic modeling.
