Monument to Virginia de Blasis

Virginia De Blasis, a renowned soprano from 1804 to 1838, strikes a dramatic pose in her full stage attire as she belts out one of her signature hits from Vincenzo Bellini's opera Beatrice di Tenda: "Deh! Se un' urna m'e con-cessa, senza fior non la lasciate." Critics at the time raved about this monument, hailing its authentic composition and bold departure from traditional allegorical representations, ditching Muses and crying Genii in favor of a more natural approach.
