Description from the seller
Commemorative Statue "Capitoline Wolf" - Rome 1960 Olympics
In auction an fascinating and rare piece of history of sport and Italian design: an official commemorative statue of the XVII Olympiad Games, held in Rome in 1960.
The object depicts the iconic Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus, eternal symbol of the Eternal City, chosen as the emblem of the 1960 games. This refined version is mounted on a solid black glass base (matte/shiny) that enhances its metallic shine.
On the front there is the original plaque with the inscription "OLIMPIADI 1960 ROMA", accompanied by the graphic logo of the Olympic flame. A piece of great nostalgic charm, perfect to enrich a collection of Olympic memorabilia or as an elegant vintage decorative object.
Technical Features
Subject: Capitoline Wolf (Symbol of Rome 1960 Olympics).
Material of Wolf: Metal (likely chromed zama or silvery alloy).
Base: Solid black glass.
Dimensions: 10 x 6 cm (base). Total height: 6 cm. Weight: about 250 g.
Details: Base equipped with original rubber feet from the era to protect the surfaces.
Conditions
The item is in excellent vintage condition. The structure is solid and the metal patina preserves an authentic charm. Minimal signs of aging attesting to its originality (small natural oxidation on the underlying mounting bolt, not visible during display). Please examine the photos carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
Why buy it?
The Rome 1960 Olympics are considered among the most iconic in modern history. Owning an original relic from that edition is not only an investment for collectors, but a way to preserve a fragment of that "Italian miracle" that captivated the whole world.

Careful packing and trackable shipping to guarantee the integrity of the glass.
