'Cere anatomiche' (Anatomical waxes) is an exhibition conceived in collaboration with La Specola, which is part of the Museum of Natural History and Museum System of the University of Florence, and the Canadian film director and screenwriter David Cronenberg. This project develops in two complementary parts. An exhibition features a selection of thirteen eighteenth-century ceroplastic works from the renowned collection of the Florentine museum, and a series of seventy-two exhibition copies of anatomical drawings gathered in nine vitrines. In particular, 'Cere anatomiche' features four reclining female figures, including one of the most relevant works of La Specola's collection, the so-called Venus, a rare model with detachable parts famous for its beauty.
