These pieces represent the most intimate and vital stage of Andreotti's work: here, one can see the marks of the spatulas and the artist's fingerprints, captured in the plaster before the final casting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition layout spans several floors, offering a complete overview of his stylistic evolution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-small-font-size\">\n<li><strong>The Parisian Period:<\/strong> Works imbued with elegance and lightness, such as the famous <em>Danzatrici<\/em>, reflecting the influence of French taste and Art Deco.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-small-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Monumental Maturity:<\/strong> On the ground floor and in the upper rooms, the plaster casts for major public monuments stand out, including the imposing figures for the <strong>Victory Monument of Bolzano<\/strong> and the <strong>War Memorial of Milan.<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Grace of Female and Child Subjects:<\/strong> Works like <em>Pomona<\/em> (the goddess of fertility) showcase a soft plasticity and extraordinary poetic sensitivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-ac4382a01b0b164ad266987fcdfe022e\">Architecture and Memory<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260119-WA0046-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1134\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:361px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260119-WA0046-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260119-WA0046-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260119-WA0046-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260119-WA0046.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The display, curated with essential rigor, perfectly complements the palace\u2019s 13th-century architecture. High wooden trusses and stone walls serve as the backdrop for Andreotti's \"white ghosts,\" creating an atmosphere suspended in time. The museum also houses an important <strong>documentary archive<\/strong>, featuring letters and photographs that reconstruct the sculptor's relationships with intellectuals such as Ugo Ojetti and Luigi Pirandello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Visiting the Gipsoteca is not just about admiring sculptures; it is about stepping directly into the workshop of a master who marked the transition from 19th-century tradition to modernity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color
