“La Fanciulla con Canestro di Frutta” (The Maiden with a Basket of Fruit) by Giuseppe Graziosi, 1931
Mercato Albinelli, Via Albinelli
Modena, May 2024

“Nearby, in the historic Albinelli Market, the Maiden with a Basket of Fruit (La Fanciulla con Canestro di Frutta) is on display. Built in 1931 as Graziosi's first local public contract, the bronze statue was built to provide water to clean fruit and vegetables purchased in the market. The maiden stands within a basin, a basket of fruit under her right arm and a sheaf of wheat in her left hand. ‘The Maiden with a Basket of Fruit’ remains a charming and important presence in the Albinelli Market, the temple of Modena’s culinary traditions.” (The Maiden with a Basket of Fruit, VisitModena)
