At the Venice Film Festival in 1881, a statue representing a farmer fell to the ground, slumped too much work, which the artist had given the title of “Proximus Tuus”, had a grand welcome and provoked a lively admiration for the great feeling with which he was treated, and the performance, and the great novelty of the subject. The sculpture: “In Posillipo” deserved a special prize in Turin and was purchased by the King of Italy, and won a gold medal for his brilliant work entitled “The Nightingale”, which he expounded in Genoa, Venice and in Florence.
