Occasio – Bronze gold plating statuette inspired by the Fortune of Venice
Inspired by Bernardo Falconi’s famous “Occasio” statue of Fortune, located atop the Punta della Dogana in Venice, this refined gilded bronze figurine depicts Fortune turning in the wind, a symbol of the fickleness of fate and Venetian prosperity.
Supported by two male Atlases on the “Golden Ball,” the nude female figure with a sail and flowing hair represents the eternal dance between fate and wealth. An icon of elegance and historical significance, Venice at the Punta della Dogana pays homage to its Fortune, who, unsteadily and ficklely rotating on the sphere, signals the course of the winds. A unique and original ornament in gilded bronze with a marble base, available by reservation.
