| Notes | The statue crowns the marble fireplace in the shape of portico supported by caryatids of Centaur and Cerberus (demaged during the fire of the palace during preparations to destroy the building by the Germans in 1944). Giuseppe Angelini was recommended to the King of Poland by Antonio Canova, who also suggested that he might copy the sculpture for a price of 1,500 scudi. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
