Renato Bertelli (1900-1974) - Profilo Continuo del Duce

This is a very rare reproduction of the famous 1933 masterpiece entitled "Profilo Continuo del Duce" (Continuos Profile of the Leader), conceived by the Italian artist Renato Bertelli (1900–1974), a prominent figure of Futurism, a forward-looking movement deeply tied to the historical and cultural context of the era.

At first glance it presents itself as a classic bust, but this is precisely its extraordinary uniqueness: when viewed closely, from any angle the unmistakable profile of Mussolini emerges with surprising continuity, characterized by his pronounced jawline.

Hence the title "Profilo continuo del Duce": a fascinating and conceptually innovative work in which the profile remains visible 360 degrees — from every side, without interruptions — making it a truly unique piece that is difficult to find.

The design, still considered extremely modern and avant-garde today, recalls the mechanical forms typical of the industrial era, in perfect harmony with the propagandistic image of the leader as a symbol of strength and control. It is this very fusion of art and ideology that contributes to making the work as rare as it is meaningful.

This sculpture, unusual and sought-after, also represents the concept of the "omnipresent leader," a powerful and distinctive artistic vision. Art critic Marco Moretti described the work as: "a dynamic plasticity that, without rhetoric, expresses the metaphor of a vigilant and sleepless leader, capable of seeing and controlling everything."

This precious resin reproduction, increasingly difficult to find on the market, stands out for its high quality: finished with an elegant black coating and mounted on a refined base of synthetic granite.
The bust measures 15 cm in height and the base 3 cm. The total height is 18 cm, with a width and depth of 11 cm, for a total weight of 1.2 kg.
