In Rome, Italy, on February 6, 2024, the colossal statue of the Roman Emperor Constantine, whose few stone remains are housed in the Capitoline Museums, is being reconstructed with 3D printers by a Madrid-based foundation and is being presented to the public today. ''It is probably an important sculpture because it is situated at the boundary between the pagan and the Christian world. We know that Constantine was the first emperor to officially recognize the Christian religion,'' one expert notes. Another adds, ''It is a very important statue because it represents the new while using ancient patterns. By studying each one of the fragments, we have understood that the stone and the marble preserve the traces of the original sculpture's assembly.'' Adam Lowe from the Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Preservation, Salvatore Settis, a member of the Steering Committee of Fondazione Prada, Councillor for Culture of Roma Capitale Miguel Gotor, the Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, and Claudio Parisi Presicce, Capitoline Superintendent of Cultural Heritage, are all present during a press conference for the presentation of the reconstructed monumental Colossus of Constantine in the garden of Villa Caffarelli at the Capitoline Museums. A 13-meter-high 1:1 scale reproduction of the famous Colossus of Constantine, a statue of the 4th-century Roman emperor Constantine the Great, will be on display at the Capitoline Museum.
