from the bus, during my stay in Verona, I remarked an imposant Egyptian bronze, on the knees satue, in a garden near a parking. This unusual location for such an imposant ancient artifact moved me to go down from the bus for understanding the reason for this.
The statue actually represent an offering pharao to the Egyptian trinity Osiris, Isis and Hathor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris_myth , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hathor ), and not far from this first statue, two other represent respectively the Egyptian gods Sekmet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sekhmet) and Anubis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anubis). Near this last statue, a board informed that these statues belonged to the scene of the 2006 representation of Aida of G. Verdi by Franco Zeffirelli at the Arena of Verona. The only regret is that these statues are not from bronze but by perishable materials that already show signs of deterioration due to the weather.
Any comment from your side is welcomed.
Salutations
