About: Porcellino

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Il Porcellino (Italian "piglet") is the local Florentine nickname for the bronze fountain of a boar. The fountain figure was sculpted and cast by Baroque master Pietro Tacca (1577–1640) shortly before 1634, following a marble Italian copy of a Hellenistic marble original, at the time in the Grand Ducal collections and today on display in the classical section of the Uffizi Museum. The original, which was found in Rome and removed to Florence in the mid-16th century by the Medici, was associated from the time of its rediscovery with the Calydonian Boar of Greek myth.

  • La Fuente del Porcellino (en italiano: Fontana del Porcellino), o simplemente Il Porcellino (en español: lechón o cochinillo) es el nombre local que los florentinos dan a una popular fuente de Florencia, situada a un lado de la logia del Mercado Nuevo, cerca del Ponte Vecchio. Su nombre es irónico pues se trata de un jabalí salvaje adulto, realizado en bronce por el maestro barroco Pietro Tacca hacia 1633​ a partir de una copia romana en mármol de un original del período helenístico. Este último, encontrado en Roma y transportado a Florencia a mediados del siglo XVI por los Médici, se asoció al jabalí de Calidón de la mitología griega.​ Tras haber formado parte de las colecciones del Gran Ducado, el original de mármol se expone actualmente en la sección clásica de la Galería Uffizi.

  • Il Porcellino (Italian "piglet") is the local Florentine nickname for the bronze fountain of a boar. The fountain figure was sculpted and cast by Baroque master Pietro Tacca (1577–1640) shortly before 1634, following a marble Italian copy of a Hellenistic marble original, at the time in the Grand Ducal collections and today on display in the classical section of the Uffizi Museum. The original, which was found in Rome and removed to Florence in the mid-16th century by the Medici, was associated from the time of its rediscovery with the Calydonian Boar of Greek myth. Tacca's bronze, which has eclipsed the Roman marble that served as model, was originally intended for the Boboli Garden, then moved to the Mercato Nuovo in Florence, Italy; the fountain was placed originally facing east, in via Calimala, in front of the pharmacy that by association gained the name Farmacia del Cinghiale (Italian for "boar"). To gain more space for market traffic it was later moved to the side facing south, where it still stands as one of the most popular features for tourists. The present statue is a modern copy, cast in 1998 by Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry and replaced in 2008, while Tacca's bronze is sheltered in the new Museo Stefano Bardini in Palazzo Mozzi. Visitors to Il Porcellino put a coin into the boar's gaping jaws, with the intent to let it fall through the underlying grating for good luck, and they rub the boar's snout to ensure a return to Florence, a tradition that the Scottish literary traveller Tobias Smollett already noted in 1766, which has kept the snout in a state of polished sheen while the rest of the boar's body has patinated to a dull brownish-green.

  • Il Porcellino (em italiano, porquinho) é o apelido local florentino para a estátua de bronze de um javali, esculpida pelo mestre barroco Pietro Tacca (1577-1640) por volta de 1634. Embora a estátua original esteja preservada desde 2008 no Museo Stefano Bardini, uma réplica permanece na face sul do Mercato Nuovo de Florença, Itália. É um atrativo turístico de Florença - turistas põem uma moeda dentro da boca do Porcellino com a intenção de deixá-la cair no gradil inferior da estátua para pedir por boa sorte e esfregam o focinho do javali para assegurar que retornarão a Florença. O viajante literário escocês Tobias Smollett registrou essa tradição em 1766, notando que o focinho do Porcellino possuía uma aparência polida, em contraste com o marrom-esverdeado do restante da estátua.
