Tale summary
Many years ago there was a prank of Modigliani’s heads. Modigliani was born in 1884 in Livorno. He was a painter and sculptor, now his works of art are famous in the world but when he was alive his works were unknown. In 1909 Modigliani went to Paris but before his departure he threw his heads of stone in the ditches. Many years later (after 100 years to Modigliani’s born) in 1984 were found 3 heads in the ditches and these works of art were show in a museum. In truth the head was forged, three friends made one false head with drill, hammer and screwdriver. After someday the three young men said the truth and they showed the photo of his head of stone. The other two heads were made by Angelo Froglia. There is the story of a boy of 7 years that saw 5 heads of a young painter under the stairs of relative’s house. When he was he put in his coachbuilder’s workshop. Now the three heads “La Saggezza, la Bellezza e la Nera” are in a bank in Livorno.
