"The Release from Deception,"

Carved from a single block of marble, it depicts a fisherman being released from netting by an angel, allegorical to the man being liberated from his sins.

So intricate was the work that 18th-century philosopher Giangiuseppe Origlia described it as “the last and most trying test to which sculpture in marble can aspire.”

Queirolo worked alone on his magnum opus, without an assistant or even a workshop. Even other sculptors refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.

The masterpiece is housed at the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, with several other miracles of marble. Namely, "The Veiled Christ" (1753) by Giuseppe Sanmartino and "The Veiled Truth" (1750) by Antonio Corradini.

"Tomb of Cerberus". Roman mausoleum discovered in Naples (2023).

Archaeologists found a tomb from Roman times, in perfect condition, in the town of Giugliano, in Campania. The tomb has been named Tomb of Cerberus after one of its frescoes, which depicts the three-headed dog, guardian of the gates of the underworld.

The interior of the tomb, whose state of conservation is magnificent, shows the ceiling and walls painted with mythological scenes in which ichthyocentaurs (mythological beings half man and half horse, with a fish tail) holding a clypeus while they are observed by two small cupids.

Image of the entrance to the recently discovered tomb in Giugliano in Campania.

"The emotion aroused by the privilege of such a discovery is indescribable," declared Superintendent Mariano Nuzzo.
