AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A brooch representing a figure/image of a “trumpeter”
A brooch in soft silver weighing 18.70 g.
It may depict a trumpeter figure/image leaning more toward a Moroccan portrayal, a figure of an Egyptian, as assessed by an expert.
The second expert assesses the brooch, noting that it originates from, and was worked by, someone from Eastern Europe (Russia/Istria), a Giuliano exile from a noble house dating to the period before World War I?
History
The brooch comes from the family of the Cavaliere del Lavoro Mr. Monti, who owned an estate in Bertinoro, a town in the province of Forlì-Cesena in Emilia-Romagna (Italy). The villa takes its name from his wife. My great-aunt named Preziosa served at the villa and, over the years, formed a sincere bond of friendship with the Monti family, particularly with the wife who, before her death, donated the brooch which, subsequently, my great-aunt gave to me. The Monti family stayed (one of their many holiday destinations) in Asiago (Vicenza/Italy) at the Hotel Croce Bianca, frequented by famous stars from around the world. They also had a house on Via Corso Trieste in Rome (Italy), near the home of the famous tenor Beniamino Gigli. ... Beniamino Gigli (historical data: Recanati, March 20, 1890 – Rome, November 30, 1957) was an Italian tenor and actor, one of the most famous opera singers of the 20th century. In Bertinoro, at Mr. Monti’s estate, Gioacchino Murat passed through as well, in French Joachim Murat, a French general, Grand Duke of Berg and Cleves (reigned 1806-1808) and King of Naples (reigned 1808-1815) and Marshal of the Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte.
With this lifestyle, elegant attire and important meetings, the brooch was used to adorn the clothes worn, either in its simple use, or, the brooch was designed to be applied to evening dresses, with two hooks or alternatively applied to the central part of the evening bag, thus adding a touch of elegance and femininity to the outfit.
Today, it could also be used as a hairpin.
This is the story of the brooch’s life and the tale of Aunt Priscilla.
