Illuminating Troilo

"Model of the statue of Aníbal Troilo, made by the sculptor Juan Carlos Ferraro, whose reproduction in bronze is found in his mausoleum, in the celebrity precinct of Chacarita cemetary."

The scultpors wife writes:

"This chandelier belonged to Pichuco [Aníbal Troilo]. While my husband modelled him for his statue, Zita, his wife, invited us over often and several times visited us. One day, on discovering this chandelier, I exclaimed "How beautiful!", to which she answered "Pichuco chose it." And the next day, by surprise, it was brought to our house.

"Now that the house and the studio are going to be the Museum of Sculptures of the Government of the City, I should move to a smaller place, and so I find myself needing to part from it.

"Yours,
Lidia Battisti de Ferraro"
