a celebration of human beauty

Lucia Varrese at 16, 1921, after unknown

631
Buried in Rome, she died at 16 in 1921 of typhus. I photographed her marble portrait there in November 2017. Here she was on vacation at Tivoli which I photographed just after finding her statue in Rome. Her mother had moved with her, the only child, from Chile to live with the mother's sister after her father died. I have seen the black and white photograph that served the sculptor as a model.
