Raffaele, a name that resonates with history and artistry. From the Italo-Turkish War to the talented Admiral Raffaele Borea Ricci d Olmo, this name carries tales of bravery and leadership. But it doesn't stop there. In the world of art, Raffaele's influence is undeniable. Take for instance the stunning dossal of an altar adorned with a central ciborium. Created around 1475, this bas-relief polychrome glazed terracotta masterpiece showcases St. Francis, St. Bartholomew, the Archangel Raphael, and Tobiolo in all their glory. Delving deeper into this exquisite artwork reveals a breathtaking detail - an intricate depiction of Archangel Raphael and Tobias. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Moving forward in time to 1495 brings us another remarkable dossal of an altar featuring St. Francis, St. Bartholomew, the Archangel Raphael, and Tobiolo once again. This bas-relief polychrome glazed terracotta creation captivates viewers with its beauty and attention to detail. But Raffaele's talents extend beyond visual arts; his voice takes center stage as well. Bass singer Raffaele Anconi mesmerizes audiences with his portrayal of Douglas in Robert Bruce. Shifting gears from music to spirituality leads us to one of history's most debated relics - the Holy Shroud of Turin captured in black and white photography resembling a natural photograph of our Lord himself. Nature becomes Raffaele's muse as well when he skillfully captures a glacier stream flowing through the majestic Alps using pencil and watercolor on paper circa 1904. Not limited by medium or subject matter, even engravings find their place among Raffaele's repertoire - Saturn stands tall as one such example while The Miraculous Draught of Fishes showcases his ability to bring biblical scenes to life.
