The four marble sculptures depicting the ‘founding fathers’ that greet visitors at the entrance to the Wolfsoniana symbolise the chronological starting point – the unification of Italy – of the historical period examined through the works in the collection: the period between 1880 and 1950. The four sculptures depict full-length figures of Giuseppe Garibaldi, Giuseppe Mazzini, Camillo Benso Count of Cavour, and Vittorio Emanuele II.
