Mater Matuta in tuff, 6th–5th century BC, found at Capua

THE ORIGINS

An ancient story more than two thousand years old

It all began in Capua. In 1845, during construction work on a wall along the ancient Appian Way, around 160 tufa sculptures were unearthed: the Matres Matutae, female figures seated on a throne, with one or more children in their arms. Votive offerings made to express wishes related to fertility, motherhood, and life.

Roberto Branco takes the form of the ancient Mothers and transforms it freely through color, imagination, and creativity. Since 2011.

Form comes from the past. Color belongs to the present.
