Monument to Ercole and Anteo, Bronze monument at Palazzo Cusani, Parma, Italy.
The Monument to Ercole and Anteo stands near the town hall, depicting two figures locked in a mythological battle above a decorated fountain.
Sculptor Teodoro Vanderstruck created this copper masterwork between 1684 and 1687, reflecting the artistic preferences of late 17th-century Italian nobility.
The residents of Parma call this sculpture 'I du brasè' in their local dialect, referring to the intertwined figures of Hercules and the giant Antaeus.
The monument remains accessible throughout the year at coordinates 44.805211, 10.332944, with the current version being a 2003 reproduction.
The original sculpture underwent multiple relocations before finding its permanent home in Palazzo Cortile, while a precise copy stands at Palazzo Cusani.
