Apollino by Antonio Canova, Neoclassical marble sculpture in Palazzo d'Accursio, Bologna, Italy.
The Apollino sculpture stands 145 centimeters tall and depicts Apollo as a youth after defeating the serpent Python in marble form.
Created by Antonio Canova in 1797, the statue belonged to Giovanni Battista Sommariva's collection in Paris before returning to Italy in the 1850s.
The statue demonstrates the neoclassical focus on ideal human forms through its polished surfaces and precise anatomical details.
Visitors can examine the Apollino at the Bologna City Art Collections within Palazzo d'Accursio, located in Piazza Maggiore.
The statue features a cylindrical pedestal adorned with floral garlands, designed to resemble an ancient altar for enhanced balance.
