Le tre sorelle

“Le tre sorelle (The three sisters) is a theme she often returns to. The concrete version, now in the Galleria Nazionale in Rome, was exhibited with the title of Composition at the Sindacale of 1937. The group consists of the portrait of her three daughters: Miriam, the oldest, reads. Simona and Giulia listen. They appear as a single body, a generative nucleus, a gemmation.” (The Only Authentic Italian Sculptor, La Galleria Nazionale)
