“La Danzatrice” o chiamata audacemente “La Ninfa del Liri” da un giornalista locale è ora in libera esposizione del pubblico ciociaro. Stiamo parlando della scultura di Amleto Cataldi, grande figlio della Terra di Ciociaria, vissuto a cavallo tra 1800 e 1900, considerato dagli intenditori tra i grandi della scultura europea.
La scultura è apparsa a New York l’anno scorso dopo essere stata immersa nel verde del giardino di una villa del Texas per seventy or eighty years. For the "dancer" or "Ninfa del Liri" or "Two Women of Simbruini, 2.36 m high, in bronze, placed a model Anticoli Conrad would later become the wife of Fausto Pirandello, the son of the great playwright, painter . Quresta radiant girl, from the body that makes the sculpture and modulates perfectly placed for a few weeks in 1915 for Rodin who was in Rome for the bust of Pope Benedict XV. The greatest sculptor knew the body of sculptural models in the first few years, at an exhibition in Paris, had already expressed its opinion on the work presented for the first time to the decision of the commission over which he presides. In the brochure available to visitors throughout the story is well remembered.
Now is the President of the Province of Frosinone, and his Head of Culture are working to raise awareness and to benefit the citizens of the province ciociara putting on show the magnificent work of art in the lobby of the Provincial Government Building is open at all.
A double, a rare, result in providing vision and the gratification of every work of art miraculously surfaced on the antiquities market is considered among the masterpieces of the twentieth century European and at the same time begin to finally address the importance of artists ciociari horse of the century, appreciated and sought around the world, but almost completely ignored in their homeland. In fact if you exclude the initiative on Filippo Balbi now dating to at least twenty years ago, since then, in my opinion, nothing and nothing has been done for the benefit and true educational and rewarding community dlla Two Women, if events on which is better than the story is to rule, often real elephants, cost thousands and thousands of Euro public benefit only the usual suspects. It should be also made known that the directors mentioned the province, considered the intrinsic value of the sculpture and also its artistic value, have been so clever and intelligent, even disinterested, to be made available Two Women of this community without spending a penny Amleto Cataldi, if not the modest cost of invitations and brochures. Therefore doubly to be estimated.
