This large-scale reproduction of the Florentine Boar Porcellino Statue offers a charming glimpse into the folklore of Florence. Crafted in art-grade old-fashioned plaster, it stands as a replica of the famous bronze fountain known as the "II Porcellino" or "the little pig." Sculpted and cast by Pietro Tacca, a Baroque master, the original fountain resides beside the new market. According to local tradition, rubbing the snout of the pig brings good fortune. This replica captures the essence of this beloved symbol of luck, inviting admirers to partake in the age-old tradition while adding a touch of Florentine charm to any space.
