Material

The Pink Marble or Candoglia Marble has been known since Roman times, the first quarries date back to the Augustan age and were exploited until the late imperial age, given that finds, especially sarcophagi, in Candoglia marble were found in Milan, Pavia and also in Turin. The most important use of this marble is in the construction of the Milan Cathedral.
In 1387 the lord of Milan Gian Galeazzo Visconti granted the use of the Candoglia quarries to the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo to extract marble for the construction of the cathedral.

The sculpture has the symbolic form of dolphins that resemble us men in different aspects. They are intelligent mammals, who appreciate the company of their fellow humans and learn by imitation. They are joyful animals, as we interpret the shape of their muzzle as a smile. The Dauphin embodies purity, innocence and natural goodness. It is the symbol par excellence of spiritual evolution since every form of meditation.

Any imperfections and differences with the image are to be considered a guarantee of the uniqueness of the object and of the material.

Elegant and valuable, it has a remarkable resistance and is easy to clean thanks to its surface capable of limiting the absorption of dirt and humidity.
