The Monument to Gaetano Donizetti<\/strong> is located in the garden of Piazza Cavour<\/strong> in Lower Bergamo, right next to the Donizetti Theatre<\/strong>. It stands in the middle of the water feature that adorns the square, known by locals as the “swan pond.” In terms of composition, the monument follows a circular design, determined by a curved exedra-like bench, on which the musician is seated, facing the inspirational muse Melopea<\/strong> (from the ancient Greek melopoi\u00e8o<\/em>, \u201cto compose songs, set to music\u201d).<\/p>\n

The upper part, made entirely of marble, rests on a granite base decorated with steps and vegetative and animal friezes. Behind the monument is a small fenced woodland, symbolising an art that is mysterious and almost inaccessible.<\/p>\n

A notable feature of this work is that, instead of being presented centrally as is traditional, Donizetti sits somewhat to one side. The muse plays the lyre at the opposite end of the composition, and their contrasting poses, along with their positions, create an allegory of the real (the musician) as opposed to, but complementary to, the ideal (his inspiration). The entire composition conveys a sense of contemplation and, through the melancholy of the figures, seems to foreshadow the illness that would lead to the composer’s premature death at the age of fifty-one.<\/p>\n","indepth":"

For its creation, the city held a competition in 1895, which attracted 52 sculptors from all over Italy. The winner was Francesco Jerace<\/strong>, a native of Polistena who trained in Naples and Rome and rose to prominence after receiving acclaim at numerous national and international exhibitions. Among his works\u2014just to mention a few\u2014are the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II<\/strong>, which adorns the Royal Palace in Naples<\/strong> (1888), the Conversion of St. Augustine<\/strong> for St. Mary\u2019s Church in Warsaw<\/strong>, and the bronze group L\u2019Azione<\/strong> for the Vittoriano in Rome<\/strong> (1911).<\/p>\n

Renowned for the architectural modernity of his monuments, Jerace gave Bergamo one of his most refined and original creations, breaking with the traditional relationship between base and statues by introducing a continuous visual solution, as well as the off-centre positioning of the main figure.<\/p>\n

The muse Melopea is considered one of the most captivating symbolic figures in Jerace\u2019s art (Frangipane, 1924).<\/p>\n","price":"
