Dolphins

Dolphins by Carlo Reishammer (1840), Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall), Livorno
“Dolphins” by Carlo Reishammer (1840), Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall). This group, recently restored, is one of the several once decorating the entrance of the Dogana d'acqua (Customs on the Water) and the Porta a mare (Gate to the Sea). Made in cast iron, they were subsequently placed at the Ardenza marina where were almost destroyed by the sea spray. (Already posted on Instagram)

Realizzati in ghisa, furono collocati in seguito al porticciolo d'Ardenza dove furono quasi distrutti dalla salsedine. (Già pubblicato su Instagram)
