Cicogna

fl. 1902–1907

Plaster restorer, active 1902–1907.

Life and work

  1. c. 1902
    Made the plaster restoration of the gabled lid of a Cesnola-collection limestone sarcophagus (catalogue no. 490, the one with the chariot procession, Bes and nude-goddess ends) when it was moved 'from the old position to the new building'. Date is inferred: Balliard's report is of 1907 and says 'about five years ago'.
