Picture and image of the Realistic blind man stone funary monument sculpture commissioned by Enrico Amerigo for his sisters memory. beside the pedestal on which the sculptor set the deceased’s bust he placed, on the left, the figure of an old blind man, kneeling down and leaning on a stick; on the right he placed the figure of a young orphan girl, recognizable as such by her kindergarten uniform, portrayed in the act of making the sign of the cross. This work belongs to the Realism, a trend which was typical during the 1880s and 1890s, according to which the orphans, the poor, the sick and all those who benefited from somebody’s generosity had to be portrayed in a concrete fashion. Sculptor G Moreno 1890. Section A, no 53, The Staglieno Monumental Cemetery, Genoa, Italy
